Girls on the Run Mid State PA
We inspire girls to be joyful, healthy and confident using a fun, experience-based curriculum which creatively integrates running.
"My daughter has grown so much from participating in Girls on the Run. She’s way more confident in herself and has made strong bonds with girls she had never associated with before. I couldn’t be more thankful for the impact the program has had on her. She deals with anxiety and GOTR has been a blessing in that she’s learned it’s ok to feel certain ways and she’s not alone and has made strong friendships through it."
