About GoGirlGo!
GoGirlGo! is a landmark educational program launched in 2001 for elementary, middle and high school girls. The organization works across the country to keep girls involved in physical activity and to improve the health of sedentary girls. The need for GoGirlGo! is undeniable. One in three girls is sedentary, while the other gets no more than thirty minutes of physical activity a week.

This organization gets girls moving not through direct service, but by supporting programs and organizations that work with these girls. GoGirlGo! identifies and weaves together quality resources within each community and provides comprehensive support to organizations through a hands-on curriculum, grant program and networking opportunities.

Its 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. GoGirlGo! is a national program, and demonstration communities are currently in Atlanta, Boston, Chicago, Seattle, New York and formerly in San Antonio.
