Girls on the Run

Girls On The Run’s mission is to educate and prepare girls for a lifetime of self-respect and healthy living. Using both an interactive curriculum and running, The program is designed to work with girls’ emotional, spiritual, physical, and mental health. Girls on the Run is offered in the spring for 4th through 6th grade girls and is an 8 week after-school program addressing self-confidence, self-respect, and healthy life choices through an interactive curriculum and running. All program participants complete the program with a fun run 5K– an empowering non-competitive celebration.

Volunteer with Girls on the Run

WISH is always looking for Coaches and Running Buddies to help with the Girls on the Run spring seasons.

Coaches facilitate the lessons during the 8-week program and train with the girls to run the 5k at the end of the season. Running Buddies run with the girls during the final 5K event.
