Girls on the Run International

As we approach the start of the summer Olympics, check out this article from Parents that puts the spotlight on mental health and the role that trained coaches play in supporting youth. The article recognizes the important work of the Million Coaches Challenge and features the examples set by athletes Simone Biles and Naomi Osaka. As a proud member of this cohort, Girls on the Run understands the importance of equipping coaches with trainings that empower them to support emotionally safe environments and create positive youth outcomes. The Million Coaches Challenge furthers the work of Girls on the Run to change what it means to be a coach by giving girls the confidence to succeed beyond the finish line! #MillionCoachesChallenge #SusanCrownExchange #GirlsOnTheRun #Olympics #Paris2024 #RoadToParis2024 Susan Crown Exchange The Aspen Institute
