Girls on the Run of Lancaster: Empowering Girls to be Joyful, Healthy and Confident
Girls on the Run of Lancaster is a non-profit organization that aims to inspire girls to be joyful, healthy and confident through a fun, experience-based curriculum which creatively integrates running. The organization was founded in 2010 by a group of passionate individuals who wanted to make a difference in the lives of young girls in Lancaster County.
The program is designed for girls aged 8-13 years old and is delivered over a period of 10 weeks. During this time, the girls participate in various activities that help them develop important life skills such as teamwork, communication, goal-setting and self-esteem. The program culminates with a celebratory 5K run where all participants are encouraged to complete the race.
At Girls on the Run of Lancaster, we believe that every girl has limitless potential and deserves an opportunity to reach her full potential. Our mission is to empower young girls by providing them with tools they need to navigate their way through life's challenges with confidence and resilience.
Our curriculum is based on three core values: understanding oneself, valuing relationships and teamwork. We use these values as guiding principles throughout our program as we work towards our ultimate goal - helping young girls become strong women who are capable of achieving anything they set their minds too.
Our experienced coaches are trained volunteers who have undergone extensive background checks before being allowed to work with our participants. They provide guidance and support throughout each session while also serving as positive role models for our young participants.
We understand that not every family can afford participation fees for their daughters; therefore we offer scholarships so that no girl will ever be turned away from participating due financial constraints.
Girls on the Run has been proven effective at improving self-esteem among its participants while also promoting physical activity among young people. In fact, studies have shown that after completing our program:
-97% of parents reported that their daughter learned valuable life skills
-98% of girls reported that they learned critical life skills such as teamwork, goal-setting and communication
-99% of girls reported that they felt more confident in themselves
We are proud to be part of a national organization with over 200 councils across the United States. Our program has positively impacted the lives of thousands of young girls across the country, and we are committed to continuing this work in Lancaster County.
In conclusion, Girls on the Run of Lancaster is an organization that is dedicated to empowering young girls by providing them with tools they need to navigate through life's challenges with confidence and resilience. Our program is designed to help participants develop important life skills while also promoting physical activity among young people. We believe that every girl has limitless potential and deserves an opportunity to reach her full potential. Join us today and help us inspire a generation of strong women!
