Inspiring Confidence, Building Connections, Growing Strong


Girls on the Run is a program designed to empower individuals of all abilities to discover, build, and grow their self-confidence. Through engaging lessons and activities, participants experience a true sense of belonging and teamwork.

Volunteer coaches lead sessions that combine physical activity with life skills development, including:

  • Managing emotions
  • Fostering friendships
  • Expressing empathy

At the end of the season, the team completes a Community Impact Project and runs a 5K together, creating a tangible sense of accomplishment and setting a confident mindset into motion.
