In 2017, Gabriela officially became a coach following an invitation from her friend. One of the most rewarding aspects for her has been witnessing how the girls use their newfound confidence and skills to help others, showing that the impact of the program extends far beyond running.

“The girls are not only remembering the lessons,” Gabriela says. “They are really reflecting about how it's impacting their lives.”

Bekah joined the  Girls on the Run program in fourth grade when her mother signed up her and her sister. Years later, while finishing her last semester of college, Bekah reconnected to Girls on the Run and became a coach. 

“She asked me, and I just said yes. I didn't ask any questions,” Bekah says. “I just remembered doing it in elementary school, and I loved it."

Si tu respuesta es afirmativa, es probable que ahora mismo estés sonriendo y recordando con cariño una gran lección que te enseñó tu mentor.
