In a world where girls are often told or believe they’re not enough, Girls on the Run is building confidence that lasts. 9 in 10 girls interviewed in our Alums Study said GOTR positively influenced how they see themselves. That self-confidence carries them forward as they navigate middle school, shaping how they show up at school, in social situations, and in their friendships.

This quote from Gertrude Stein (February 3, 1874 - July 27, 1946) is our motivation this week. Stein was an American novelist, poet, playwright, and art collector.

"You look ridiculous if you dance. You look ridiculous if you don't dance. So you might as well dance."

On this Memorial Day, we're reflecting on this quote from First Lady Eleanor Roosevelt (October 11, 1884 - November 7, 1962) for

"Freedom makes a huge requirement of every human being. With freedom comes responsibility."

Today, we honor the heroes who sacrificed their lives for our country and our freedom.

For years, we’ve seen the impact of Girls on the Run in real time. Now, we have the research to show what lasts. We’re excited to share Lasting Impact: The Girls on the Run Alums Study - a landmark, third-party research effort that strengthens evidence of the long-term impact of our program.

Alums report using Girls on the Run strategies in middle school to manage emotions, navigate friendships, build confidence, and handle new challenges. The findings reinforce the impact of our intentional curriculum and trained coaches and show that girls continue to apply skills learned years after participating in the program.
