Girls on the Run Greater Houston (GOTRGH) is an after-school program for girls in grades 3 through 8 that uses physical activity as a platform for teaching life skills and promoting holistic health outcomes. Our mission is to inspire girls to be joyful, healthy, and confident using an experienced based curriculum which creatively integrates running. We serve girls all across Harris, Montgomery and Fort Bend counties and have served more than 20,000 girls in over two decades. The GOTRGH program is needed now more than ever as mental health is a serious crisis for young people, especially girls. The GOTR curriculum has been proven to increase girls' self confidence, help participants develop healthy habits, and improve the way they feel about themselves. Donations to our program are crucial as we not only provide running shoes for any participant who needs them, but over 65 percent of our girls are on some kind of financial assistance to participate. We believe GOTR is for every girl and financial restraints should not prohibit any girl from experiencing the benefits of the program.
