Girls on the Run is a proven, transformational physical activity-based positive youth development program for girls in 3rd-8th grades. Across Athens, Atlanta and North Georgia, we teach social-emotional skills through a research-based curriculum that incorporates dynamic interactive lessons and running games. Our girls grow in confidence and learn how to express themselves, manage emotions, resolve conflict, create balance in their lives, choose and maintain healthy relationships, set goals, and stand up for themselves and others. They also work as a team to create and execute a community impact project. The program culminates with the girls being physically and emotionally prepared to complete a celebratory 5k running event together.

Founded in 1998, Live the Life (LTL) has the goal of strengthening marriages and families. We have the vision that communities will become “divorce-free zones” where divorce is rarely, if ever, wanted or needed, and where strong marriages are encouraged, nurtured, developed, and maintained. As our dream comes true, more children will grow up in safe, happy, and healthy married families characterized by nurturing parents, permanence and better life outcomes.

We create positive change for women and girls through grant making, advocacy, research, and leveraging collective impact.
