Girls on the Run - Central Louisiana

Girls on the Run - Central Louisiana Girls on the Run is dedicated to creating a world where every girl recognizes her full potential.

Our Mission:
We inspire girls to be joyful, healthy and confident using a fun, experience-based curriculum which creatively integrates running. About Us:
Girls on the Run of Central Louisiana was founded in 2012 as one of the new councils to join the existing 200+ GOTR Councils across North America. We are dedicated to creating a world where every girl knows and activates her limitless potential a

nd is free to boldly pursue her dreams. Meeting twice a week in small teams of 8-20 girls, we teach life skills through dynamic, interactive lessons and running games. The 24-lesson curriculum is taught by certified Girls on the Run coaches and includes three parts: understanding ourselves, valuing relationships and teamwork and understanding how we connect with and shape the world at large. Running is used to inspire and motivate girls, encourage lifelong health and fitness, and build confidence through accomplishment. Important social, psychological, and physical skills and abilities are developed and reinforced throughout the program. At each season's conclusion, the girls and their running buddies complete a 5k running event which gives them a tangible sense of achievement as well as a framework for setting and achieving life goals. The result—making the seemingly impossible, possible, and teaching girls that they can. Description:
Girls on the Run is a transformational physical activity based positive youth development program for girls in 3rd-8th grade. We teach life skills through dynamic, interactive lessons and running games. The program culminates with the girls being physically and emotionally prepared to complete a celebratory 5k running event. The goal of the program is to unleash confidence through accomplishment while establishing a lifetime appreciation of health and fitness.
