Confidence can show up in lots of ways, and sometimes it looks like standing up for someone else. At Girls on the Run, girls learn to use their voices not just for themselves, but to support those around them. In fact, 93% of alums credited Girls on the Run with helping them stand up for others, whether standing up when someone is not being treated well, saying something when they need help, or doing something when they see they can make a difference.

At Girls on the Run of Dayton, we see it every season: girls setting goals, staying committed, and discovering what they’re capable of. 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/

At Girls on the Run, girls build confidence while learning how to navigate big emotions and make meaningful connections. They carry these lessons with them long after the 5K. Sometimes it’s as simple – and powerful – as remembering “you are enough, even on the days you don’t quite believe it yet.” Want to see the lasting impact of our program?

Great coaches do more than teach technical skills. They help young people discover their strengths, build confidence, and see what’s possible.

That impact can stay with girls long after a season ends. In the Girls on the Run Alums Study, 100% of participants interviewed as eighth graders shared vivid, positive memories of their coaches.

We’re proud to see Girls on the Run International CEO Elizabeth Kunz featured in Forbes discussing the lasting impact of quality coaching and the role coaches play in helping girls thrive.
