~Leadership. Conflict Resolution. Sisterhood. Voluntarism~
The women of Girls Run The World developed an infrastructure to support, encourage, and uplift the young ladies in their personal and professional endeavors. Through partnerships within law enforcement, the educational system, and community investors; group leaders created inroads for the students, exposing them to a variety of community resources, unique experiences, philanthropic efforts, mentorship, friendship, coping skills, conflict resolution skills, and leadership development.
GRTW has partnered with The Paramount Theater, APD Defensive Tactics Team, Mutual Ground, The Vistas Assisted Living Facility, and Aurora 88s Roller Derby to host local events geared toward youth development in Aurora.
