“Women and girls who are not afraid to speak up, to lead, to laugh, and to serve make the whole community a better place,” adds Gregory. Girls on the Run was founded in Charlotte, North Carolina, where Gregory was a volunteer coach for two years. After a four-year stint at the Delaware chapter of Girls on the Run, Gregory moved to Birmingham in 2009. She worked with the community to bring Girls on the Run to Jefferson County. Girls on the Run is a volunteer-based organization and the organization is currently looking for enthusiastic people to help coach, mentor, and lead the girls through the program. Get involved in the community and help girls exercise their bodies and their spirits to grow into confident young women! For more information, visit the organization online at girlsontherunbham. org.
