Meet Taylor

“I learned to speak up about issues that bother me. I learned to be a better friend and person to all people no matter their difference.”

Meet Peter

“Coaching for Girls on the Run helped me see life through my daughter’s eyes. It was an incredible opportunity to help girls see the strength within themselves—to show them how strong they are and how strength isn’t just about their ability to run a 5K, but more about the strength to do whatever they put their hearts and minds to.”

Meet Charnae

“Instead of wondering what my life would have been like if I was more talkative, brave, and outgoing, I was able to relive it through these girls as a coach. I was able to break free and let myself as a 10-year-old come back to life.”

Meet Paula

“Girls on the Run is not just about running. It is about meeting new friends, showing care for people, and learning how to succeed in life. After Girls on the Run, I realized I have the power to help change people’s lives.”
