What is Heart & Sole?
Heart & Sole creates a positive, structured space for middle school girls to learn about themselves, explore new ideas, cultivate empathy, strengthen connections and develop life skills that will help them as they move through adolescence and beyond. Physical activity is woven through the program as a learning mechanism and a way for girls to experience goal setting and achievement.
The 10-week Heart & Sole curriculum is rich with themes girls can relate to, addressing the whole girl—body, brain, heart, spirit and social connection—and building important life skills such as team building, developing a support system, boundary setting, asking for and providing help, and more.
Feed your heart and soul by coaching Heart & Sole!
At Girls on the Run, we believe that adolescents bring a lot to the table. We also know that girls at this age often sort through conflicting messages about their worth, their abilities and their value. Our new middle school program, Heart & Sole, helps girls develop the skills to tune into their own truths and to unleash their power to live confidently and joyfully.
GOTR MOCO invites you to be a part of this by becoming a Heart & Sole coach… and they will provide the training and all the materials needed!
What GOTR MOCO is looking for in Heart & Sole coaches:
Enjoy working with middle schoolers
Be flexible- with open discussions that may bring up a variety of different topics, some of which may be sensitive in nature.
Be consistent but open.
Be facilitators, not directors. The girls are encouraged to take a leadership role in the lessons-coaches must be comfortable with slowly turning over responsibility to the girls.
