Girls on the Run of Atlanta, Inc. is an after school program that uses the power of running to educate and prepare 3rd-8th grade girls for a lifetime of self-respect and healthy living.

Girls on the Run inspires girls to be joyful, healthy and confident using a fun, experience-based curriculum which creatively integrates running.
Girls on the Run of Atlanta is a physical activity-based positive youth development program serving girls in grades 3-8 across metro Atlanta. Our programs utilize academically evaluated, intentional curricula delivered in small groups by trained, caring volunteer coaches. The positive impacts of our program have been proven through an independent longitudinal study: self-esteem increases significantly, commitment to physical activity increases, sedentary behavior decreases, and girls come out of the program with a better body image and a significant increase in self-worth and resilience. In 2019-20, Girls on the Run of Atlanta served 3,124 3rd-8th grade girls! An independent longitudinal study provides strong evidence that our physical activity-based youth development program is effective in driving transformative change in these young girls' lives and promoting positive youth development, including season-long and lasting change in physical activity, confidence, connection, caring, competence, character and life skills. The combination of both physical activity and social emotional learning within our intentional curricula, as well as our rigorous coach training and girl focus, make our organization unique. Our coaches and girls reflect the racial and socioeconomic diversity of the community we serve. In 2019-20, the generosity of our community enabled us to provide 66% of our girls with full scholarships or partial financial assistance so that they could access the benefits of our programs.
