Girls on the Run Southwest Michigan

Girls on the Run International is a national nonprofit organization dedicated to creating a world where every girl knows and activates her limitless potential and is free to boldly pursue her dreams. We inspire girls to be joyful, healthy and confident using a fun, experience-based curriculum which creatively integrates running. Over 220 Councils in 50 states serve 200,000+ girls a year, and engage close to 100,000 volunteers.

A 501(c)3, Girls on the Run Southwest Michigan is a subsidiary council of Girls on the Run International. The program has recently grown to serve girls in Berrien, Cass, St. Joseph and Van Buren counties. In 2017, close to 1,000 girls participated in the program in all four counties. GOTR SWMI strives to provide a highly supportive, flexible, and fun work environment.

Girls on the Run believes that all girls and communities should have access to our programs. We strive to eliminate barriers to participation, to continue creating programming that engages all communities, to be intentional about staff and volunteer diversity and to promote a culture of inclusion across the organization.
