International Day of the Girl may have been yesterday, but celebrating girls and all they're capable of is something we believe in every day.

Our programs create opportunities for girls to build confidence, use their voices, support one another, and discover what they're capable of achieving.

We're proud to play a role in helping girls recognize their strengths and carry that confidence wherever life takes them.

“Knowing you are enough … even if you don’t believe it in the moment.”

That’s the kind of lesson that sticks.

Girls on the Run isn’t just another after-school activity. It’s something girls carry with them long after their last practice.

Feeling safe is part of what makes growth possible.

98% of parents and guardians agree that their child felt physically, emotionally and socially safe while participating in Girls on the Run.

That kind of environment gives girls room to move, connect, speak up, try something new and grow in confidence while being themselves.

This year’s Marine Corps Marathon will be Bertha’s first marathon and her first running race ever.

After coming to the U.S. as a pr***en refugee, Bertha remembers struggling to find confidence and a sense of belonging. The encouragement and investment of others helped her find her voice and grow into the woman she is today. That experience is part of what inspired her to support the next generation of girls through Girls on the Run - DC.

Years ago, she made a promise to herself to keep doing things that scare her, stretch her beyond what she thinks she can do and help her discover something new about herself. Now, that promise is taking her 26.2 miles.

As a SoleMate, Bertha is using that challenge to fundraise for GOTR-DC, helping even more girls build confidence, discover their strength and develop their own sense of belonging.

We’re excited to follow along as she takes on this next challenge.

Who could she become?

A girl who tries something new. Who finds her people. Who gets a little braver, a little stronger and more confident in who she already is.

Next week, girls across DC get to start finding out, and there’s still time for yours to be part of it.
