girls on the run rhode islandGirls on the Run inspires girls to be joyful, healthy, and confident using fun, experience-based curricula that creatively integrates running. Our physical activity-based positive youth development (PYD) program is designed to enhance 3rd-8th girls’ social, emotional, and physical skills to successfully navigate life experiences.
The program’s intentional curriculum places an emphasis on the development of competence, confidence, connection, character, caring, and contribution in young girls. Trained, caring, and qualified coaches deliver the life skills curriculum during out-of-school times by guiding small teams of girls through twice-a-lessons that promote social-emotional learning concurrently with physical activity. The program culminates with girls positively impacting their communities through a service project and completing a celebratory, non-competitive 5K event.
