Girls on the Run of Southeastern Michigan

We envision a world where ALL girls know and activate their limitless potential!

Girls on the Run is a physical activity-based positive youth development program (PA-PYD) designed to develop and enhance girls’ social, psychological, and physical competencies to successfully navigate life experiences. Our ten-week program for girls in 3rd – 8th grade combines training for a 5k with a curriculum promoting competence, confidence, connection, character, caring, and contribution. T

wice-weekly lessons and interactive activities are led by trained volunteer coaches who create a positive and safe environment for girls to learn about themselves, connect with others, and contribute to the community. The program culminates in a non-competitive 5k event which gives the girls a chance to shine and an overwhelming sense of accomplishment.

🌟 Bring the power of Girls on the Run to your school, community center, or other neighborhood location!

Many of today’s girls struggle with self-image issues and low confidence. Growing up is tough, and it’s even more complicated with social media and unrealistic societal norms. Host a Girls on the Run team and empower girls to be confident when facing challenges and preserve even when it gets tough. You will connect them with other peers, caring, trained coaches, and a community where everyone’s ideas matter.

Every girl deserves the chance to discover her confidence, build friendships, learn resilience, and realize her limitless potential. 🌟

This fall, Girls on the Run of Southeastern Michigan will welcome another season of girls ready to lace up, grow stronger, and cross the starting line together.

But for more than half of our participants, financial assistance is now essential. This year, more than 51% of participants received financial assistance, representing 542 families during our spring season alone.

And your support goes beyond registration. Last season, Girls on the Run of Southeastern Michigan invested more than $20,000 in running shoes, athletic apparel, and coach stipends, helping 196 children and volunteer coaches feel prepared and included.

Your gift helps ensure that financial circumstances never stand between a girl and the opportunity to participate.

👟 Provide running shoes and athletic apparel
🏃 Support volunteer coaches
✨ Help every girl feel seen, celebrated, and empowered

You don’t have to be a runner.
You don’t have to be a teacher.
You don’t have to have all the answers.
You just have to believe every girl deserves someone in her corner. 💛
Our coaches come from all walks of life. They are caregivers, neighbors, mentors, community members, students, athletes, non-athletes, and everything in between.
The thing they all have in common? They show up.
Could you be the person who helps a girl discover how strong she is?
