Run may be in the name, but Girls on the Run is much more than stretches and lap goals. In this after-school program led by trained, caring coaches, participants of all abilities learn to embrace their inner strength, make meaningful connections, and give back to their communities. Girls learn important life skills through physical activities, group discussions, and community impact projects, such as resolving conflict, helping others, and making intentional decisions. Girls gain the confidence to stand up for themselves and others. Girls on the Run Western MA offers a fall and spring season, and each one culminates with a celebratory 5K.
