About this organization
Mission
The mission of Girls on the Run - Sierras (GOTR-S) is to inspire girls to be joyful, healthy and confident using a fun, experience-based curriculum which creatively integrates running. Girls on the Run offers physical-activity based positive youth development programs that teach girls life skills while physically training for a 5k running event. Sessions are led by trained volunteer coaches who serve as positive adult role models. The 30 hour program meets after school twice a week for ninety minutes at elementary and middle schools. The life skills curriculum teaches girls caring, connection, character, competence, confidence and contribution which enhances girls' physical, mental, and social development and promotes healthy outcomes. The program culminates in a celebratory, non-competitive 5K fun run. Completing the 5K teaches girls about goal setting and builds their self-confidence
About
GOTR-S sponsored two 10-week training programs at elementary schools or other sites in the Tahoe-Truckee Unified, Lake Tahoe Unified and Washoe County School Districts, in which participating girls not only trained physically for a 5 kilometer run, but learned self-respect and habits of a healthy lifestyle. The training programs were held at the various elementary and middle schools or sites in the Truckee/Lake Tahoe/Reno area. A total of 295 girls participated in the Fall program, with 210 participating in the Spring program.
