Girls on the Run After-school at Springhill
Girls on the Run of the Bay Area is an after-school program that uses the power of running to help prepare girls for a lifetime of self-respect and healthy living. We offer 10-week programs during the fall and spring seasons to girls ages 8 to 13. Volunteer coaches engage the girls in games and running-based workouts that encourage emotional, social, psychological and physical development. The girls meet twice each week after school for a total of 20 one-hour sessions. The curriculum covers important issues facing girls today such as why drugs hurt your chances of success, how to make healthy choices, the importance of community, media awareness regarding body image, and self- respect. The program culminates in a non-competitive community running event that gives the girls a chance to shine and an overwhelming sense of accomplishment. Enroll here. Contact person: Tristen Davis at runandcreate@gamil.com or 925.262.7790. Parent Liaisons: Shelly Shepherd at shilli.shepherd@comcast.net or Kerry Bolen at KerryBolen@sbcglobal.net.
