Do you want to help empower your young daughter? Girls Coach Girls Run (GCGR) is a peer mentoring program which teaches leadership skills, positive social development and healthy living. No prior athletic experience required. High school juniors and seniors (Head Coaches) receive extensive leadership and mentoring training. Paired with 8th grade girls (Assistant Coaches), these young leaders together mentor 4th grade girls through a two-pronged after-school program that consists of a classroom social development curriculum and an outdoor exercise program. Together, the girls train to run a 5k.

GCGR is open to 4th and 8th grade girls who live in Guilford and Madison and to area high school juniors and seniors who have transportation to one of our after-school sites in Guilford or Madison.
