Since 2005, Girls on the Run (GOTR) Cincinnati has used running as the hook to engage girls aged 8-13 in an inclusive, research-based curriculum that encourages positive physical, emotional, and social development. Pre-adolescence and adolescence are vulnerable ages for girls, and GOTR coaches them in running and skills and strategies to help them navigate life experiences such as standing up to peer pressure, making critical decisions, and identifying and handling uncomfortable emotions. A gift from the Pfau Foundation will support their program, Social, Emotional, and Physical Learning for Any Girl.
