project designed to close the opportunity gap for low-income youth in East Palo Alto by providing free access to running, mentorship, and community-based wellness programs. In a district where over 90% of students qualify for free or reduced lunch and face significant barriers to sports participation, the program offers an inclusive space to build confidence, health, and leadership through movement. By empowering students to literally and figuratively “run with their dreams,” Run With It transforms running into a vehicle for equity, inspiration, and long-term growth.
Skillset needs: I'm in early ideation phase and would love wide variety! The more the merrier.
