Black Girls RUN! is thrilled to partner with Girls on the Run, an empowerment program for girls in 3rd-8th grade—giving them skills and experiences to navigate their world with confidence and joy. One girl at a time, Girls on the Run has changed 1 million lives. With your help, they will change 1 million more!

 How does Girls on the Run Work?

Meeting twice a week in small teams, Girls on the Run teaches girls life skills through engaging lessons and fun movement activities. The curriculum is taught by certified Girls on the Run coaches and helps each girl understand and celebrate herself, value healthy relationships and realize her power to impact the world!

Up and Running!

Running is used to inspire the girls and encourage lasting health and fitness. At the conclusion of each program cycle, the girls and their running buddies complete a 5k running event that provides them with a lifelong memory of accomplishment.
