Girls on the Run of Southeastern Michigan

Girls on the Run is a non-profit organization that envisions a world where every girl knows and activates her limitless potential and is free to boldly pursue her dreams. The Southeastern Michigan council was founded in 2001 to serve Washtenaw, Jackson, Lenawee, Monroe and Livingston counties. We host two ten-week seasons, one in the spring and one in the fall. Volunteer role models lead participants through a well-researched and scientifically evaluated life skill’s curriculum designed to support all aspects of girls’ development – their physical, emotional, mental and social well-being. Lessons include fun running games and experiential activities that help girls learn to create healthy habits, make positive choices, stand up for themselves and serve as leaders in our community. The program culminates in a non-competitive 5K event which gives the girls a chance to shine and an overwhelming sense of accomplishment. Girls complete the program with a stronger sense of identity, a greater acceptance of themselves, a healthier body image and an understanding of what it means to be part of a team.

Did you know that we have over 750 girls participating this fall at 43 sites in five counties, crushing our goal to serve at least 2,000 girls and families in 2011? And did you know that we’ve awarded $54,590 in scholarships to 504 families in Southeastern Michigan this year? And did you know we have gifted 135 pairs of New Balance running shoes to girls in need?
Please vote for us to help us continue to grow and reach even more girls- I imagine a world where every girl has self-confidence, is emotionally and phycially healthy and finds passion in being active!

Giving up is never an option. We highly suggest that you don’t even
think of that. Once it crosses your mind, divert yourself instantly!
Nothing ever comes easy. Once we do the best daily habits around,
there’s no doubt what we choose to do and struggle on will definitely
pay off in the future. Study the daily habits of successful people. They
all didn’t get what they wanted or dreamed of overnight. It may seem
like they achieved success overnight, but they struggled day and night,
lost sleep, barely ate and never even took a break to relax and chill a
bit simply because they have the best daily habits available. They are
dedicated and determined to reach success no matter what.
