Girls on the Run Treasure Valley Sponsorship Opportunities
Girls on the Run is not all about running. It is about becoming a team. - Coach Erin We inspire girls to be joyful, healthy and confident using a fun, experience-based curriculum which creatively integrates running. We envision a world where every girl knows and activates her limitless potential and is free to boldly pursue her dreams. Our History Girls on the Run was established in 1996 in Charlotte, North Carolina. The Girls on the Run curricula, the heart of the program, provides preadolescent girls with the necessary tools to embrace their individual strengths and successfully navigate life experiences. The earliest version of the 24 lesson curriculum piloted in 1996 with the help of thirteen brave girls. Twenty-six came the next season, then seventyfive. In 2000, Girls on the Run International, a 501c3 organization was born. The Treasure Valley council was one of the first Girls on the Run councils. Our first team gathered in 2000 and since then we have offered the program to 7,096 girls from Mountain Home to Middleton. And we hope to grow it more. What We Do At Girls on the Run, we inspire girls to recognize their inner strength and celebrate what makes them one of a kind. Trained coaches lead small teams through our research-based curriculum which includes dynamic discussions, activities and running games. Over the course of the ten-week program, girls in 3 rd -5 th grade develop essential skills to help them navigate their worlds and establish a lifetime appreciation for health and fitness. The program culminates with girls positively impacting their communities through a service project and being physically and emotionally prepared to complete a celebratory 5k event.

Girls on the Run is not all about running. It is about becoming a team. - Coach Erin Why It Matters Girls face social pressures and conflicting messages about how they should act and who they should be. Studies show that by adolescence, girls confidence drops about twice as much as boys. Friendships become more complicated and challenging, girls perception of their academic success declines, the likelihood of anxiety and depression increases and participation in physical activity plummets. It doesn t have to be this way. We believe that every girl is inherently full of power and potential. By knowing they are the leaders of their lives, these are the girls who will change the world. Longitudinal Study A recent independent study provides compelling evidence that Girls on the Run is highly effective at driving transformative and lasting change in the lives of third to fifth grade girls. It is the combination of the research-based curriculum, trained coaches and a commitment to serve all girls that sets Girls on the Run apart from other after-school programs. The independent study was conducted by Maureen R. Weiss, Ph.D, a leading expert on youth development. Girls on the Run participants scored higher in managing emotions, resolving conflict, helping others, and making intentional decisions than participants in organized sport or physical education, confirms Weiss. Being able to generalize skills learned in the program to other situations such as at school or at home is a distinguishing feature of Girls on the Run compared to traditional youth sports and school physical education, and suggests that the intentional life skills curriculum and coachtraining program can serve as exemplars for other youth programs. More information on this study can be found at www.girlsontherun.org My daughter is ten years old and in the 5 th grade. She struggles with both multiple medical issues and a communication disorder. Participating in GOTR has given her a safe place to make friends and to be active without worry of rejection or failure. - Treasure Valley Mom
