GIRLS ON THE RUN MINNESOTA
Girls on the Run has fun, evidence-based programs that inspire participants to recognize their inner strength, increase their level of physical activity, imagine their possibilities, and confidently stand up for themselves and others.
Children today are exposed to longstanding gender stereotypes, societal obstacles and cultural challenges that can be detrimental to their emotional and physical health. Our program helps girls recognize their potential and rise above limiting gender expectations.
Girls on the Run programs are about so much more than running – they make an impact at a critical age when confidence and physical activity decline.
