Girls on the Run serving Maricopa & Pinal Counties

Girls on the Run serving Maricopa & Pinal Counties is a life-changing physical activity-based positive youth development program for 3rd - 8th grade girls. Participants develop and improve competence, feel confidence in who they are, develop strength of character, respond to others and oneself with care, create positive connections with peers and adults and make a meaningful contribution to community and society. Each session is led by trained volunteer coaches that guide and mentor the girls. The 10-week program concludes with all participants completing a celebratory 5k event which gives them a tangible sense of achievement as well as a framework for setting and achieving life goals. In 2022 we were honored to serve 1,050 local girls and their families.
