Today, we commemorate Juneteenth, a day to honor freedom, resilience, and the ongoing pursuit of justice for Black communities across the country. It’s a time to reflect, celebrate the impact of Black Americans, and recognize the strength that comes from unity.

At Girls on the Run, we believe every girl deserves the opportunity and support to reach her full potential. We’re dedicated to building spaces where joy, connection, and community can grow for girls from all backgrounds. As we honor this pivotal day in U.S. history, we recommit to a future that is inclusive and equitable. How is your family honoring Juneteenth this year? Share in the comments. 💛

And they’re not alone! 📣 89% of Girls on the Run alums said GOTR influenced how they set and achieve goals, from the classroom to personal milestones and beyond. Learn more about how GOTR girls are turning “I hope I can” into “I know I can!” in the Girls on the Run Alums Study: https://www.girlsontherun.org/alums-study/
