Go Girls Go!
Program Overview
Go Girls Go! is a program for girls in 4th - 6th grade that is designed to improve the health and well-being for girls at one of the most vulnerable times of their lives. Research shows girls frequently drop out of organized sports around this age and many become sedentary. Go Girls Go! incorporates both educational lessons and physical activity---working to educate and empower young girls to improve their self-esteem, goal setting, friendships, and increase their physical activity. Go Girls Go! is offered to various grades and schools within Franklin County. Groups meet twice a week for ten weeks before the final celebration at the Go Girls Go! 5K race.
Go Girls Go! values all qualities that make our participants and mentors who they are. As a program and as individuals, we are committed to creating a diverse and inclusive environment for all.
