Girls on the Run is a life-changing character development program that inspires 3rd-8th grade girls to stay true to themselves and live free from societal stereotypes. Our 12-week after school curriculum innovatively weaves preparing for the New Balance Girls on the Run 5K, a community impact project, and fun, interactive lessons that empower girls to:
Celebrate their bodies
Honor their voices
Recognize their gifts, and
Activate their inner power.
Our goal is to provide an environment where girls begin to reach their full physical, emotional, social, mental, and spiritual potential by learning to live outside the "Girl Box," a place where a girl's worth is based upon her appearance or popularity rather than her character. Our objective is to prevent the display of at-risk behaviors including alcohol and substance use, eating disorders, early onset of sexual activity, sedentary lifestyle, depression, suicide attempts, and confrontations with the juvenile justice system.
Girls on the Run of Coconino County is an independent council of Girls on the Run International, founded in 1996 by Molly Barker. Today, over 150 councils across the United States and Canada transform the lives of more than 60,000 girls annually.
The effectiveness of our programs depend upon active collaboration between girls and their families, program sites, volunteers, staff, and the community. We are funded entirely by fees, donations, sponsorships and grants and rely on the generosity of local individuals, businesses, and organizations to fulfill our mission.
