  • Who We Are

    Girls on the Run is a 501c3 positive youth development program that combines training for a 5K with an interactive curriculum to develop self-respect and healthy lifestyles in pre-teen girls. Our curriculum addresses many aspects of a girl's development - their physical, emotional, mental, and social well-being. Lessons provide girls with the tools to make positive decisions and to avoid risky, adolescent behaviors.
  • What We Do

    We inspire girls to be joyful, healthy and confident using a fun, experience-based curriculum which creatively integrates running.

Company Description

We are a local non-profit focused on the social and emotional development of girls across northeast Wisconsin.  We cover 7 counties including Brown, Calumet, Manitowoc, Outagamie, Sheboygan, Waupaca, and Winnebago.  Our mission is to inspire girls to be joyful, healthy, and confident using a fun, experience-based curriculum that creatively integrates running.  Running, while it is central to our name is not the main focus of our programs.  Our goal is to empower girls to be more confident, build healthy relationships, practice empathy and compassion, and to understand their emotions.
