Impact

Since 2013, Girls on the Run has impacted the lives of over 2,700 young girls in Acadiana. We believe all girls deserve the opportunity to learn critical life skills to help them lead joyful, healthy, confident lives.The cost to deliver our evidence-based 10-week program is over $250 per girl. Families pay a registration fee of $210-$25. Over 55% of girls request financial assistance with no girl turned away due to financial barriers. As a Friend of Girls on the Run, you are bringing confidence and healthy decision-making to girls throughout Acadiana.

Volunteer Coach

"Two of our GOTR participants got student of the month last month. Their teachers noticed improvements in their resilience, work ethic and social skills. I know GOTR contributed to that!"

Parent

"My daughter often uses skills she learned at Girls on the Run in her day-to-day situations. It always makes me smile when I hear her work through her situations independently with the tools provided by Girls on the Run."

Girls on the Run Participant

"The best part of Girls on the Run is when you learn a strategy to handle things and you use it. You realize what you can do other than stomp around and scream."
