Girls on the Run Hampton Roads

Girls on the Run© Hampton Roads hosts fall, spring, and summer programs aligned with the elementary and middle school schedules. The evidence-based, health and wellness programs are designed for for girls in 3rd through 8th grade. Girls meet twice a week after school, for 90 minutes, to learn concrete strategies for positive social, emotional, and physical development. They improve their self¬-esteem, relationships, nutrition, fitness and community service. Physical activity, and training to complete a 5K run, is woven into the program to inspire an appreciation of fitness and habits that lead to a lifetime of good relationships and health. Each semester, we offer a sustained program that independent research has shown to have lasting change. Girls can benefit from the program after just one semester, or they may re¬enroll for as many seasons and summer camps as the program is available in their school or community center.

Charting impact

Four powerful questions that require reflection about what really matters - results.

Our goals are to saturate our service area throughout Greater Hampton Roads by having every elementary and middle school host the after-school program.

Increase staff
Increase volunteer base
Raise funds to subsidize costs for low income girls

We have made incremental progress towards this goal since 2006, when we served 28 girls at two schools, to serving 1,808 girls at over 100 schools in 2019-20.

Since 2016, we have been building a financial reserve with a goal of having 6-12 months of operating budget in reserve for pandemics, hurricanes, terrorist threats or other events that may inhibit our operations temporarily. We currently have approximately 6 months of operating cash in reserve.

Our staff and board more closely mirror the community we serve, with residency in 5 of the 10 cities we serve and with 38% people of color .

We have maintained our reach to the most marginalized girls by offering 50% of our girls need-based program fee subsidies.

Data
  • We review compensation data across the organization (and by staff levels) to identify disparities by race.
  • We ask team members to identify racial disparities in their programs and / or portfolios.
  • We analyze disaggregated data and root causes of race disparities that impact the organization's programs, portfolios, and the populations served.
  • We disaggregate data to adjust programming goals to keep pace with changing needs of the communities we support.
  • We employ non-traditional ways of gathering feedback on programs and trainings, which may include interviews, roundtables, and external reviews with/by community stakeholders.
  • We disaggregate data by demographics, including race, in every policy and program measured.
Policies and processes
  • We use a vetting process to identify vendors and partners that share our commitment to race equity.
  • We seek individuals from various race backgrounds for board and executive director/CEO positions within our organization.
  • We have community representation at the board level, either on the board itself or through a community advisory board.
  • We help senior leadership understand how to be inclusive leaders with learning approaches that emphasize reflection, iteration, and adaptability.
  • We engage everyone, from the board to staff levels of the organization, in race equity work and ensure that individuals understand their roles in creating culture such that one’s race identity has no influence on how they fare within the organization.
