Girls on the Run Piedmont

Girls on the Run Piedmont is an after-school program which empowers girls to change the world. Our experience-based curriculum combines running and exercise with important life skills such as boundary setting, dealing with negative self-talk, interpersonal skills, and teamwork skills that will impact the community and the world. Girls are supported by trained volunteer coaches who come alongside these young women to mentor them. At the end of the 10 week season, the teams develop and complete a project to impact their community and finish a 5K event. The goal of the community impact project and the season ending celebratory 5K is to teach girls how taking relatively small steps can and does impact large goals that they may have thought were impossible. Life comes at girls fast, at Girls on the Run Piedmont we help girls find their OWN pace. Help us empower girls to change the world!
