About Girls on the Run of the Greater Chesapeake

Girls on the Run of the Greater Chesapeake is a local non-profit organization dedicated to creating a world where every girl knows and activates her limitless potential and is free to boldly pursue her dreams. We inspire girls to be joyful, healthy, and confident using fun, experience-based curricula that creatively integrates physical movement. Meeting twice a week in small teams each fall and spring, our programs help participants in 3rd - 8th grades gain social, emotional and physical well-being through a positive youth development curriculum. We serve participants in Anne Arundel, Baltimore, Baltimore City, Calvert, Charles, St. Mary's counties and the Eastern Shore of Maryland. Girls on the Run is the only national physical activity-based, positive youth development (PA-PYD) program for girls with an evidence-based curriculum, trained coaches, and a commitment to serving all girls. As the only out-of-school time program of its kind, Girls on the Run underscores the important connection between physical and emotional health and empowers adolescent girls to build healthy physical and mental habits that last a lifetime. It strengthens a sense of confidence in girls while fostering care and compassion for self and others. The program’s intentional suite of curricula is designed to enhance girls’ social, psychological, and physical skills and behaviors to successfully navigate life experiences through an emphasis on the development of competence, confidence, connection, character, caring, and contribution in young girls. The program culminates with girls positively impacting their communities through a service project and completing a celebratory, non-competitive 5K event providing the framework for confidence through accomplishment and to be the author of her story.
