Springtime + Girls on the Run=Perfect Together
As temperatures rise, and the snow slowly melts away, our thoughts turn towards the beginning of another season of changing the lives of young girls forever.
Through the GOTR program WE INSPIRE GIRLS to be joyful, healthy and confident using a fun, experience-based curriculum, which creatively integrates running. Volunteer coaches meet twice a week for 10 weeks with 3rd-5th or 6-8th grade girls, to encourage them to create lives that reach their full potential. Discussing difficult topics such as bullying, body image, and peer pressure helps the girls form strong bonds of trust and friendship with their coaches and their team members.
Through running games and goal setting, the girls increase their endurance to compete in a special 5K Race at the close of the session. It is an amazing experience to see girls that could not even walk once around a track, crossing the finish line of a 5K, arms raised with smiles that could light up any room. For many it is a real lesson in challenging themselves, and accomplishing goals with hard work and perseverance-all good lessons for life.
There are Girls on the Run of Central New Jersey sites throughout Middlesex, Monmouth, Somerset, Ocean and Camden counties, with sites at many schools, recreation centers, and parks. Over 2000 girls are served, at over 60 sites in those counties. New volunteer coaches are always needed!
The spring season starts April 3rd, with culminating 5K races in Fair Haven on June 4th and Somerville on June 11th.
Give your girls an experience of a lifetime that will change their lives forever!
