Girls on the Run Twin Cities

Girls on the Run Twin Cities is an independent council of Girls on the Run International. We play a pivotal role in the establishment and delivery of the GOTR program in 15 counties across Minnesota. In 2020, Girls on the Run Twin Cities will serve over 5,000 participants.

Girls on the Run inspires girls to be joyful, healthy and confident using a fun, experience-based curriculum which creatively integrates running. Girls on the Run is a physical activity-based positive youth development (PYD) program that is designed to enhance girls’ social, psychological and physical skills and behaviors to successfully navigate life experiences. The program’s intentional curriculum places an emphasis on developing competence, confidence, connection, character, caring, and contribution in young girls through lessons that incorporate running and other physical activities. The life skills curriculum is delivered by caring and competent coaches who are trained to teach lessons as intended.
