Girls on the Run - Coatesville Community Outreach

75% of girls with low self-esteem reported engaging in negative & potentially harmful activities.

Research shows that attitudes and behaviors developed during adolescence and teen years have a lasting impact into adulthood. Girls on the Run is a positive youth development program with a curriculum designed to address the social, psychological, and emotional challenges that girls face and empower them at an early age to make thoughtful and healthy decisions. It inspires girls to stay true to themselves and live free from stereotypes.
