A critical need
Societal pressures and outdated gender stereotypes negatively impact girls’ and women’s ability to thrive. It doesn’t have to be this way.
We believe that ALL GIRLS are born with power and purpose.

Amanda, VolunteerMichigan
I decided to join the Girls on the Run community because I wanted to identify with girls like me and help them realize their worth and give them the confidence to step outside of their comfort zone sooner than I did when I was their age. I wanted them to understand that life is so much more than being popular.
