Girls on the Run of Nebraska is a positive youth development program that inspires girls to be joyful, healthy and confident with a curriculum that creatively integrates running. GOTR is open to girls in third- through sixth-grades. Teams meet twice weekly for 10 weeks to train for a 5K run/walk. Lessons on teamwork, communication, health, wellness, positivity and community are incorporated with the physical training to develop character and confidence in young girls. Since its inception with 11 girls in 2003 in Lincoln, this nonprofit 501(c)3 organization has expanded to deliver programming to 16,000 girls at sites spanning 500 miles across the state. We're always looking for men and women to volunteer to make the world a better place for girls.
