Girls on the Run

Lorri Brune, Executive Director of Girls on the Run of Central Indiana presented Kiwanis with information about their program.  We inspire girls to be joyful, healthy and confident using a fun, experience-based curriculum which creatively integrates running.  Girls on the Run is in all 50 states and Canada. 
Meeting twice a week in small teams of 8-15 girls, we teach life skills through dynamic, conversation-based lessons and running games. The 20-lesson curriculum is taught by certified Girls on the Run coaches and includes three parts: understanding ourselves, valuing relationships and teamwork and understanding how we connect with and shape the world at large.
The program has 125 students in Hancock County at Harris Elementary, Maxwell Intermediate, New Palestine Elementary and Eastern Hancock Middle School.
