Girls on the Run of Northeast Wisconsin

Girls on the Run inspires girls to be joyful, healthy and confident using a fun, experience-based curriculum which creatively integrates running and movement.

We envision a world where every girl knows and activates her limitless potential and is free to boldly pursue her dreams.

Girls on the Run (GOTR) is a positive youth development program for girls in grades 3-5 and 6-8. Trained volunteer coaches lead small teams through the program’s unique, intentional suite of curricula designed to enhance girls’ social, psychological, and physical skills and behaviors to successfully navigate life experiences.

The program culminates with girls positively impacting their communities through a service project and completing a celebratory 5K. The 5K is designed to empower girls by giving them the opportunity to set and accomplish a goal. Successfully crossing the finish line provides a tangible sense of achievement, boosting their confidence and inspiring them to pursue other life goals.
