Girls on the Run of Silicon Valley Incorporated

At Girls on the Run of Silicon Valley, we offer life changing, physical activity-based after school programs for girls in 3rd through 8th grades throughout Santa Clara and Santa Cruz counties. Our goal is to educate and prepare girls for a lifetime of self-respect and healthy living. During the 10-week program, the girls train for the Girls on the Run 5K while learning important life skills such as healthy decision-making and teamwork.

A donation today provides scholarships to girls in need and keeps our program fees as low as possible at EVERY program site so that more girls have the opportunity to participate in Girls on the Run! We make it our goal to never turn a girl away as a result of financial need.

Here is what our coaches and participants say about the program:

“The values of the Girls on the Run program – moving forward with positivity, being intentional and grateful, living with healthy habits and being a strong girl/woman – are important tools I want for all the girls in our community.”

“The girls learn lessons through Girls on the Run that they will take with them forever.”

 “The smiles, the accomplishment, the pure joy.”

 “We discuss the importance of being a community, teamwork, and strategies to reach out goals.”

You can help inspire more girls in our community to be joyful, healthy, and confident by making a tax-deductible donation today to Girls on the Run of Silicon Valley.
