Far more than a walking group, GirlTrek is a life-saving sisterhood. GirlTrek is a campaign to heal intergenerational trauma, fight systemic racism and transform Black lives. As women organize walking teams, they also mobilize community members to support advocacy efforts and lead a Civil Rights-inspired health movement.
Today, GirlTrek has 1,521,776 members, representing 9% of the total population of African American women.
GirlTrek is free to join and starts with taking the pledge at GirlTrek.org.
