Crossing the finish line is a defining moment when girls realize that the seemingly impossible, IS possible.
Girls on the Run coachesdo not have to be runners themselves; you just need to be willing to guide and mentor girls through a fun and uplifting program.

Everything you need-supplies, snacks, curriculum, & handouts-is provided for you in your coaching tote.
