GET OUTSIDE OF THE GIRL BOX…
The “Girl Box” is a place where girls are valued more for their outward appearance than their character inside. This often results in low self-esteem and a distorted body image (which can lead to eating disorders, teen pregnancy and substance abuse.). Girls on the Run focuses on educating third through eighth grade girls on developing a healthy self image and discovering a life that is free of the girl box where they can say, “I belong just the way I am”.

OUR GOAL IS TO EMPOWER ALL GIRLS TO…

• have a strong sense of identity
• give and receive support from a group
• stand up for themselves in a healthy manner
• have a healthy body image
• understand their importance in the community
• complete a 5k run/walk event
