What are the age requirements for participating in BIO Girls?
The BIO Girls curriculum and programming is open to participants who are currently in second through sixth grade. For summer programs, participants must have completed second grade to be eligible to participate.
What are the different program types?
Our main program type uses running as its non-competitive physical activity. In 2019, we launched additional program types like yoga, cross-training, and art. All programs are designed to teach accountability and goal-setting. Program type varies by location.
What if my participant can’t make it to all 12 sessions?
To achieve the full benefits of the program, it is recommended that participants attend at least 10 of the 12 sessions, plus the finale. Because roster space is limited, if your participant is unable to commit to the sessions, please consider signing up during a different season to allow room for all.
Can parents/caregivers attend a BIO Girls session?
Unless the parent/caregiver is an approved volunteer mentor for the season complete with background check, they are not allowed to attend BIO Girls sessions. Parents and caregivers are invited to attend the season finale when participants demonstrate what they have learned during the season.
