Who We Are
Girls on the Run of Northeast Indiana (GOTR-NEI) offers physical activity-based youth development programing for girls in 3rd through 8th grade. The program is designed to enhance girls’ social, emotional, and physical skills and to promote confidence and healthy habits.
What We Do
-
Empowerment through Running: While the program incorporates running and physical activity, the main goal is to build confidence, teamwork, and life skills.
-
Curriculum: Our curriculum includes lessons on positive self-talk, goal-setting, peer pressure, body image, and more. It’s structured around interactive activities, discussions, and games.
-
Culminating 5K: Every season ends with a non-competitive 5K event, giving girls a tangible sense of accomplishment.
-
Mentorship: Volunteer coaches (often women from the community) lead the sessions, serving as mentors and role models.
