OUR MISSION:
The mission of Girls on the Run Western Colorado is to provide accessible programs that inspire girls to be joyful, healthy and confident.
THE PROGRAM:
Girls on the Run® is a 501(c)3 positive youth development program which combines an interactive curriculum and running to inspire self-respect and healthy lifestyles in pre-teen girls. Our core curriculum addresses many aspects of girls’ development – their physical, emotional, mental and social well-being. Lessons help girls make positive decisions to avoid risky adolescent behaviors. At the end of each 10-week program, the girls participate in a celebratory 5K to experience the exhilarating feeling of accomplishment. However, at Girls on the Run, the finish line is just the beginning. Our ultimate goal is to provide the girls with tools and resources that develop their ability to think critically - a skill that will serve them well for a lifetime.
OUR GOAL:
Our goal is to ensure that our programs are available to all girls - we don't want cost or transportation to be an issue. Our low registration fee and generous scholarship program, along with GOTR teams at more than 110 schools in Western Colorado (with more added each year), we are confident that we are reaching that goal. However, there is always room to improve and your generous support of GOTR through a Run Raiser donation will help us to positively impact more than 2,500 girls each year in Western Colorado. Your Run Raiser donation will directly support the programming and scholarship needs in your community/county. We invite you to join us by helping us financially with a Run Raiser donation.
