As the leaders of their lives, these are the girls that will change the world. At Girls on the Run, we inspire girls to recognize their inner strength and celebrate what makes them one of a kind. Each session is led by trained volunteer coaches who guide and mentor the girls through dynamic discussions, activities and running games. Lessons are fun and engaging and teach specific skills and strategies such as how to manage emotions, help others, make intentional decisions, and resolve conflict. Girls can then use these strategies at home, at school and with friends. The program culminates with all participants walking or running a celebratory 5K event, which gives them a tangible sense of accomplishment, as well as a framework for setting and achieving life goals. The 8-week program is for girls in 3rd & 4th grades of all fitness abilities. Practice Times: Mondays and Wednesdays 3:00 - 4:30 PM Start Date: March 26 Location: Griffin Memorial School 5K Celebration Event: May 31 (Loudon, NH) To learn more about Girls on the Run, registration or financial assistance, please visit our website: https://www.girlsontherunnh.org/ No girl will be turned away for financial reasons.
