Girls on the Run of Nebraska

Julie Feltz, Senior Executive Assistant at Feltz WealthPLAN, volunteers for Girls on the Run of Nebraska. GOTR offers after-school programming that combines friendship, fun and training for a 5K to promote healthy lifestyles and self-respect in third- through eighth-grade girls. The nonprofit organization uses a nationally standardized curriculum that incorporates exercise, education and mentoring to create a positive athletic experience for young girls. There are two programs: Girls on the Run for third- through sixth-graders; and Girls on Track for middle females (offered on a very limited basis in Nebraska).

GOTR lessons incorporate valuable life skills such as:

• teamwork
• health & wellness
• positivism
• communication
• goal-setting
