Mission

THE MISSION OF GIRLS ON THE RUN - SIERRAS (GOTR-S) IS TO INSPIRE GIRLS TO BE JOYFUL, HEALTHY AND CONFIDENT USING A FUN, EXPERIENCE-BASED CURRICULUM WHICH CREATIVELY INTEGRATES RUNNING. GIRLS ON THE RUN OFFERS PHYSICAL- ACTIVITY BASED POSITIVE YOUTH DEVELOPMENT PROGRAMS THAT TEACH GIRLS LIFE SKILLS WHILE PHYSICALLY TRAINING FOR A 5K RUNNING EVENT. SESSIONS ARE LED BY TRAINED VOLUNTEER COACHES WHO SERVE AS POSITIVE ADULT ROLE MODELS. THE 30 HOUR PROGRAM MEETS AFTER SCHOOL TWICE A WEEK FOR NINETY MINUTES AT ELEMENTARY AND MIDDLE SCHOOLS. THE LIFE SKILLS CURRICULUM TEACHES GIRLS CARING, CONNECTION, CHARACTER, COMPETENCE, CONFIDENCE AND CONTRIBUTION WHICH ENHANCES GIRLS' PHYSICAL, MENTAL, AND SOCIAL DEVELOPMENT AND PROMOTES HEALTHY OUTCOMES. THE PROGRAM CULMINATES IN A CELEBRATORY, NON-COMPETITIVE 5K FUN RUN. COMPLETING THE 5K TEACHES GIRLS ABOUT GOAL SETTING AND BUILDS THEIR SELF-CONFIDENCE
