If you can't find a walk in your area, no worries! You can do two things:
- Once in the official, private Facebook City Group, post a selfie introducing yourself with your Superhero Name (an adjective that describes you and begins with the first letter of your first or last name, then your first name, i.e., Vivacious Vanessa, Mo Money Morgan), share where and when you walk, and/or
- Start your crew in your neighborhood with friends or family.
STEP 1: INVITE 1 or 2 women to walk with you, and that's a CREW!
STEP 2: COMMIT to Saturdays as your sacred day to walk in your neighborhood together.
STEP 3: POST your selfie with #GirlTREK to share your story.
You can also see what walks are happening in your area by visiting the GIRLTREK MAP and inputting your zip code for upcoming Rendezvous Points, Trek Meet & Greets, and other Joy and Justice Treks. Please visit the TRAIN TO LEAD section on the website to learn how to lead your crew.
GirlTREK's Mission is to increase the life expectancy of Black women by 10 years in 10 years. Join us as we walk in the direction of our healthiest, most fulfilled lives.
