Girls on the Run Greater Hartford to expand to more locations in the Greater Hartford region - Hosting Informa

Girls on the Run of Greater Hartford is currently looking for new sites to host programming. Girls on the Run is a physical activity-based, positive youth development program that teaches key life skills to girls in 3rd through 6th grade through dynamic discussions and fun games that creatively integrate running.

Girls on the Run of Greater Hartford is currently accepting applications from new sites to host teams for the spring season and provide program opportunities to more girls. Current sites include local schools and community centers. Each site must have a volunteer site liaison, a safe space for physical activity and be able to provide both outdoor and indoor meeting locations.

At each site, volunteer coaches lead teams of 8-15 girls through research-based curricula that include lessons on confidence, treating others with care and contributing to the community. During the ten-week program, girls complete a community service project and become physically and emotionally prepared to participate in a celebratory 5k event.

To learn more about starting a new Girls on the Run site, please join us at one of the following informational sessions on November 3rd in Glastonbury at 108 Glastonbury Boulevard from 5:00 – 6:00 p.m., November 7 in East Windsor at Scout Hall Youth Center from 5:00 -6:00 p.m. and November 10th in West Hartford at the Jewish Community Center from 5:00 – 6:00 p.m. Registration is required and all sessions are free.
