On this episode, Margaret McConnell talks with Liz Fones, Executive Director, Melissa Dowches, teacher and volunteer coach, and Devon Helmer, former participant and junior coach with Girls On the Run Lehigh Valley. They emphasize the organization's goal to teach girls how to be strong physically and emotionally during a vital age range.

Liz, Melissa, and Devon discuss the impacts the organization has had on them, the value of giving young girls the feeling that they're part of something, and how everyone can get involved in the organization.
