Girls on the Run (3rd-5th)

PLEASE NOTE: This program is on pause until a coach can be found.

Girls on the Run is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization that offers after-school empowerment programs designed for 3rd-8th grade girls. We help participants build confidence, increase their level of physical activity, and learn essential life skills through the innovative integration of fun physical activities, life-skills lessons, and impactful community projects. The program runs for 10 weeks, culminating with a 5K at Vasona Park.

You do not have to be a runner to be a coach!

• Coaches can be anyone 18-years or older
• Receive training and all materials from GOTRSV
• Decide location/days/times for team practices 
• Leave participants through dynamic lessons

You’ll teach girls how to:

• Discover their I Can! Power--the power to do hard things
• Manage and move through difficult emotions
• Proudly breathe, believe, and achieve their goals
• Use stick-with-it strategies to help them overcome obstacles
