What we aim to solve
By adolescence, girls begin to experience faster rates of decline in physical activity levels, lower levels of confidence and positive perception of their academic abilities, and higher rates of anxiety and depression as compared to their male peers. As early as age 9, girls’ self-confidence begins to decline. From ages 10 to 13, at a time when peer relationships are becoming more central to girls’ lives, 50% of girls are experiencing bullying such as name calling and exclusion. Additionally, among girls, physical activity levels decline starting at age 10 and continue to decline throughout adolescence. Girls on the Run works to prevent these adverse outcomes by empowering girls to know and activate their limitless potential. The program accomplishes this mission through an intentional and evidence based curriculum that promotes social-emotional learning, critical life skills, and healthy attitudes and behaviors among adolescent girls.
