GOTREI will use this grant award to purchase updated curriculum materials from Girls on the Run International. The curriculum has been updated after an intensive study, evaluation and constituent feedback to be more inclusive and relevant. Volunteer coaches will be trained accordingly for the 2024 spring and fall sessions. Curriculum Suites include topics on competence, confidence, caring, character, connection and contribution. Through GOTREI, girls learn critical life skills such as how to manage emotions, help others, make intentional decisions, and resolve conflict that they use at home, at school, and with friends. The program inspires girls to live lives of purpose and to make meaningful contributions to community and society. This comes to life through a key element of curricula when each team creates and executes a community service project. The 10-week session concludes with a celebratory 5K event giving the girls a tangible sense of achievement as well as a framework for setting and achieving life goals.
