Girls on the Run South Louisiana invites the community to learn more about the nonprofit program Girls on the Run at Empower Hour on Wednesday, November 28 from 6:30-7:30pm at Pamplona Tapas Bar. Attendees will receive an overview of the 10-week character-development curriculum for girls in 3rd-8th grade, including the impact of the Girls on the Run program and how to get involved as an individual or school.
Girls on the Run was recently included as a top research-based program in a Social-Emotional Learning Guide developed by researchers at Harvard University and has been recognized by the National Afterschool Association (NAA) as one of the most influential after-school programs. Girls on the Run is accepting volunteer applications and site applications from Lafayette schools and community sites to become program hosts in spring 2019.
