Girls on the Run received $5,000 to continue their programming that inspires girls to be joyful, healthy, and confident using fun, experience-based curricula that creatively integrate running. It is a physical activity-based positive youth development (PYD) program designed to enhance third through eighth-grade girls social, psychological, and physical skills and behaviors to successfully navigate life experiences. The program’s intentional curriculum places an emphasis on the development of competence, confidence, connection, character, caring, and contribution in young girls. Trained, caring, and qualified coaches deliver the life skills curriculum during out-of-school times by guiding small teams of girls through twice-a-week lessons that promote social-emotional learning concurrently with physical activity. The program culminates with girls positively impacting their communities through a service project and completing a celebratory, non-competitive 5K event.
This grant is part of our signature program support.
