Girls on the Run!

I have always enjoyed volunteering. As I have become more acquainted with Madison, I decided to find an organization whose passions align with mine.

My co-worker, Christine, is a member of the Girls on the Run of Dane County, Board of Directors.  Christine took the time to sit down with me to discuss what Girls on the Run is all about.  GOTR is an international organization that works with young girls in 3rd-5th grade.  The 10 week curriculum works with these young women to build confidence, self-esteem, and happiness through activities with other girls, ultimately culminating with a 5k event held at the end of the season. 

Last weekend, I attended training, where I met other women who will be coaching in the Madison area.  Each of their stories were inspiring, as everyone has such a variety of reasons for helping young women. 

As part of GOTR, I will be coaching about 15 girls twice weekly.  I hope that I am able to help show these young women all the beautiful qualities that they have to offer.  I am looking forward to making a positive impact in their lives. 

If you are interested in being apart of GOTR in your city, visit Girls on the Run here.

Cheers,

Samantha
