Organiser's description

Join us on Saturday, April 20th in downtown Jacksonville for the Girls of Virtue 5K & 1M Races. This will be the second year for our fundraising race event. All monies raised will benefit our non-profit organization Girls of Virtue.

OUR MISSION:

Girls of Virtue is a community for young women to have a safe environment that will teach them the proper skills they need to face todays complex generation. To instill life skills through mentorship, workshops, and education. To empower and equip them to be grounded spiritually, mentally, physically, and financially.

In November 2022, we opened the first Empowerment Center in our area to offer these classes to the young women in our community. We have a gym and yoga studio to teach fitness, mindfulness, and self-defense. A kitchen to teach nutrition and healthy cooking on a budget. A library with books to empower and equip them. A computer lab for homework, resumes, college, and job applications. A creative arts studio to expand their imaginations. Private mental health rooms for mentoring and one on one counseling. Then a large life skills room to offer group therapy and workshops in every class to prepare our ladies for success.
