BRATTLEBORO — Girls on the Run Vermont is now in its 15th year of helping girls reach their limitless potential through an innovative program that fosters self-esteem, confidence, and fitness. We are deeply thankful for the overwhelming community support we have received throughout the years.
Applications for new program locations are now being accepted, as we are marking this anniversary by expanding our program by up to 15 new sites.
If your school, community center, or recreation department would like to offer our program to girls in your community, please contact us today! Applications are being considered on a first-come, first-served basis until Jan. 1.
Girls on the Run is about a lot more than running. It's an uplifting 10-to-12-week, after-school program that helps empower third-to-eighth-grade girls gain physical, emotional, and social well-being.
Our fun, creative, easy-to-follow curriculum incorporates discussions and activities designed to help girls in this age range honor who they are. Our program is proven to help them navigate the often-difficult years leading up to and through middle school.
Anyone can be a volunteer location host/liaison, as well as a coach/mentor: school nurses, guidance counselors, and office staff and teachers, as well as recreation department directors, parents, and community members.
All hosts and coaches have the full support of the GOTRVT staff, along with training, materials, and curriculum.
Anyone interested in starting our program in her or his community should contact Program Director Robyn Bashaw (robyn@girlsontherunvermont.org; 802-246-1476).
On behalf of everyone at Girls on the Run, thank you for helping girls in Vermont to grow up healthy and strong, inside and out!
