Guardians and caretakers are welcome to register their third- through eighth-grade girls now for a season of confidence, friendship, goal-setting, and community, beginning the week of March 18.<\/p>\n<p>GOTR is an afterschool program that uses social-emotional learning and running exercises to build confidence and leadership skills to help young girls navigate the challenges of adolescence. Teams will meet twice weekly for 10 weeks, and are led by trained coaches that facilitate lessons. The coaches encourage girls to set personal goals tailored to their own running abilities. Girls participate in a Community Impact Project of the team\u2019s choosing to make a difference locally and show the power of teamwork.<\/p>\n<p>The GOTR season culminates with every team across the Worcester County gathering to run a celebratory 5K at Polar Park in Worcester.<\/p>\n<p>Last spring, more than 650 girls participated in the after-school program at sites across the county. Each team completed its own Community Impact Project, some of which involved cleaning up their school, writing letters to veterans, or collecting materials for animal rescues. More than 2,300 girls, spectators and community members gathered for the 5K event at the end of the season.<\/p>\n<p>The upcoming spring season will use a new curriculum, \u201cHello, Superstar!\u201d which aims to better address the challenges of adolescence and encourage girls to unlock their own unique star power.<\/p>\n<p>GOTR Worcester County utilizes a lottery system upon registration to ensure every girl participant has a fair chance of enrollment. The registration lottery will run through Feb. 2, and caregivers will be notified of their child\u2019s enrollment status the following week. Following this lottery period, girl registration will be on a first-come, first-served basis.<\/p>\n<p>For more information about Girls on the Run, how to register, and to find a location near you, visit <a href=\"http:\/\/www.gotr-worc.org\/programs\">www.gotr-worc.org\/programs<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Girls on the Run Worcester County has opened registration for the spring 2024 season.
