GOTR and GOT in the Northwoods
|
Girls on the Run offers unique programs for different age groups. The "Girls on the Run" curriculum was developed specifically for 3rd-5th graders while the "Girls on Track" curriculum was created to address issues affecting 6th-8th graders. The underlying principles are the same, but "Girls on Track" goes into more depth on the topics. Lesson topics include: healthy relationships, personal safety, media basics, avoidance of tobacco, drugs and alcohol, and more.
Through interactive activities such as running, playing games, and discussing important issues, participants learn how to celebrate being girls.
Program Design:
- Curriculum teaches life skills through group processing, running games and workouts.
- The curriculum is based on extensive educational research and "on-the-track" testing.
- The three-part curriculum is taught by certified Girls on the Run coaches and includes understanding ourselves, valuing teamwork and understanding how we connect with and shape the world at large.
- Girls choose and conduct a community service project.
- At each season's conclusion, the girls complete a 5K running event as a group.
