Imagine the satisfaction and reward of helping not just one girl but 15 or 20 gain a stronger sense of identity, greater self-acceptance, a healthier body, and an understanding of what it means to be part of a team in just a couple of hours a week.
You don’t have to be a runner to volunteer with GOTR, you just need the desire to help young girls. We inspire girls to be joyful, healthy and confident using a fun, experience-based curriculum which creatively integrates running. Girls on the Run is a non-profit prevention program for girls in grades 3-5. The 10-week program meets twice a week and follows a national curriculum focused on building self-esteem and improving emotional and physical health with training for a 3.1 mile (5K) event.
Coaches are provided with training, a comprehensive, well-researched curriculum, and teaching materials that are being used by Girls on the Run in communities around the nation.
