Girls on the Run New Orleans
Girls on the Run is not all about running. It is about becoming a team. -Coach Erin We inspire girls to be joyful, healthy and confident using a fun, experience-based curriculum which creatively integrates running. We envision a world where every girl knows and activates her limitless potential and is free to boldly pursue her dreams. What We Do At Girls on the Run (GOTR) we inspire girls to recognize their inner strength and celebrate what makes them one of a kind. Trained coaches lead small teams through - our research based curricula which includes dynamic discussions, activities and running games. Over the course of the ten week program, girls in 3 rd through 8 th grade develop essential skills to help them navigate their worlds and establish a lifetime appreciation for health and fitness. The program culminates with girls positively impacting their communities through a service project and being physically and emotionally prepared to complete a celebratory 5K event. Why It Matters Studies show that 3 rd through 8 th grade is a critical period of time for girls. Their self-confidence begins to drop by age nine and 50% of girls ages 10 to 13 years old experience bullying. A recent independent study found that the Girls on the Run intentional life skills curriculum, delivered by highly trained coaches, positively impact girls lives by helping them increase their self-confidence, develop healthy relationships and feel good about themselves. At an age when girls are constantly trying to measure up to ideas of who they should be when they re still discovering who they are, Girls on the Run shows them that their potential isn t just enormous, it s beyond measure. Girls on the Run of New Orleans has 42 sites in the New Orleans area. In 2017, we served over 600 girls and hosted 2 joyful celebratory 5K events. With the help of generous sponsors and donors, we were able to provide financial assistance to 52% of our program participants who otherwise may not have been able to participate in Girls on the Run.
