OUR MISSION
Girls on the Run® inspires girls to be joyful, healthy and confident using a fun, experience-based curriculum which creatively integrates running.
OUR VISION
Girls on the Run® is dedicated to creating a world where every girl knows and activates her limitless potential and is free to boldly pursue her dreams. At Girls on the Run, we inspire girls to recognize their inner strength and celebrate what makes them one of a kind.
OUR GOALS
Over the course of 10 weeks and 20 sessions, teach life skills to girls in 3rd to 8th grades through evidence-based curriculum that celebrates the joy of movement. Skills include: Team-building • Goal and boundary setting • Problem solving • Standing up for self and others • Overcoming obstacles • Decision making • Practicing self-care • Connecting with community
FUNDRAISING OPPORTUNITIES
Individual participant and school/team sponsorships available and needed for fall and spring seasons. Sponsors and community partners needed to offset program costs in at-risk schools, enabling our council to deliver our transformative empowerment and leadership program to girls with limited financial means.
Please contact Executive Director Brigette Kelly-Kirvin if you would like to partner with our council and sponsor the program, a team of girls or the culminating 5K events. 702-637-3055
