Girls on the Run is far more than a running program. While physical activity is part of each session, the heart of the curriculum focuses on helping girls recognize their inner strength, set personal goals, and navigate life’s challenges. Over the course of ten weeks, trained volunteer coaches lead small teams of 15-20 girls through engaging lessons that explore topics such as empathy, gratitude, peer pressure, and positive self-talk. The program culminates in a celebratory 5K, which serves as a powerful symbol of each girl’s journey and accomplishments. Donations through NEPA Gives will help ensure that all girls who wish to participate in our programs can do so regardless of her background.
Girls on the Run is a national 501(c) 3 non profit organization. Girls on the Run Pocono serves Monroe, Northampton, Pike, Lackawanna, Luzerne and Wayne Counties. Girls on the Run inspires girls in 3rd to 8th grade to be joyful, healthy and confident. Trained coaches us a research based curricula which includes dynamic discussions, activities, and running games. We offer 2 10 week seasons ending with a celebratory 5k event. We are asking for donations towards our scholarship program. This will help ensure that all girls are able to participate in our life changing program. Now more then ever girls need a safe, positive and compassionate support system. Due to the pandemic we had to cancel our spring season which resulted in refunding over 17,000 in program fees. We also had to cancel our major fundraisers which help support our program. We need you to help us so we can continue to serve all girls no matter what their families financial situation is.
