July Final Friday : Paying it Forward with Girls on the Run

Come hear Anne Klein, Program Director for Girls on the Run NJ East, tell how she started the this non - profit. 

Girls on the Run is a transformational physical activity based positive youth development program for girls in 3^rd-8^th grade. We teach life skills through dynamic interactive lessons and running games. The program culminates with the girls being physically and emotionally prepared to complete a celebratory 5k running event. The goal of the program is to unleash confidence through accomplishment while establishing a lifetime appreciation of health and fitness.

Girls on the Run of New Jersey East is an Independent Council of Girls on the Run International, which has a network of over 200 councils across the United States and Canada. The dynamic 10 week program combines training for a 5k (3.1 mile) running race with education and interactive discussions about critical issues that will affect pre-teen girls as they reach adolescence. Trained volunteer coaches teach life lessons to girls through fun and clever running games and workouts. Our goal is that girls completing the program are physically, mentally, and emotionally stronger and better prepared to overcome the challenges and pressures of adolescence and beyond.

Coffee and light breakfast will be served
