Over the past few months, we’ve had the pleasure of working alongside a group from the St. Louis Arc. This particular group has been volunteering at the Girls on the Run St.

Anyone familiar with the Girls on the Run program is aware that it empowers the girls involved for a lifetime of healthy social and emotional living. Yet many new and longtime coaches also express what a game changer Girls on the Run has been for them personally as well.

Abby Donald is a Saint Louis University student studying Social Work. She started volunteering with Girls on the Run St. Louis in September as a part of her service learning coursework.
