GoGirlGo!, our landmark educational program launched in 2001 for elementary, middle and high school girls, works across the country to keep girls involved in physical activity and to improve the health of sedentary girls.

Our free, award-winning curriculum provides tools to get girls active. It has reached close to one million girls and provided more than $5.6 million in funding to girl-serving organizations. While New York City is our signature GoGirlGo! market, the program is available nationwide.<\/p>\n
