[quote=Anonymous]Honestly, at this point you aren't making sense, and I promise I don't mean that nastily.  GOTR is an independent organization.  Here in the NoVA, MoCO, DC area its programs are based out of schools, based on agreements signed between Girls on the Run and the school districts or individual schools (in the case of privates).  In other parts of the country, GOTR programs are based out of churches, community centers, JCCs or other similar locations.  I can't personally speak to the presence of programs or lack thereof at your school, as I'm not affiliated with any school or school system.  I get the impression that there are plenty of coaches and support for boys through other programs especially sports teams, but maybe I'm wrong on that count.

To blame GOTR for having a focus on girls because that was the mission of its founder is silly.  Someone (her name is Molly Barker) had a vision, saw a need and made the time to start this program which has since spread nation wide.  I can see you are concerned about this potential gap in boys programming, but saying you don't have the time is a cop out.  If there's something you want for your child, work with your school system or others to see what can happen.[/quote]
