"By introducing me to Girls on the Run, LGH has given me an environment where I work with talented people that I may not have interacted with otherwise. This also gave me the opportunity to further develop important skills that I learned from the Leaders on Board program and make a difference in the lives of girls in our community. As I learned more about Girls on the Run, I was inspired to participate in one of its fundraisers-SoleMates."
Projects & Strategy Director, Osterman & Company
Every day hundreds of people are looking for ways to apply their values, interests, and skills in ways that serve the greater good.
