During these difficult and frightening times, Girls on the Run aims to be a strong community partner supporting the creation of a healthier and more equitable society for all people. We create a place of compassion, a community of peace, and a foundation of love for the girls we serve. As adults, we have a profound responsibility to ensure that no child is ever subjected to witnessing or personally experiencing acts of violence, hatred, or bigotry. This is painstaking work an...d begins with our country collectively taking a hard look at its longstanding history of white supremacy. Today and every day our core values guide us, and we must be accountable to speak out for those who are unheard, to stand up for those who are oppressed, and to unite for our future generations.
