Please visit the new page to apply.
Girls on the Run Coach needed at Mountainview Pool Grounds in Issaquah. Tuesdays and Thursdays from 4:30-6pm. March 30th to May 27th, 2021.
Girls on the Run or Heart & Sole Coaches are the heart of our program and have an immense impact on the girls on their team. Coaches act as a team to lead a group of 6-12 girls through our curriculum for the 8-week season. We provide coaches with comprehensive ONLINE TRAINING and SUPPORT to ensure a successful and fun experience. Coaches are expected to attend practices for the entirety of the program. The season culminates in a fun 5k event!
Coaches do not have to be "runners"; they only need to have the desire to serve as role models for the girls by engaging with girls during practicing, encouraging girls throughout the lessons and workouts, leading a healthy lifestyle and maintaining positive attitudes. Coaches assist with family communication, behavior management, material pickup & distribution, and 5K preparation during the season. Coaches are volunteers and unpaid.
Girls on the Run is a non-profit organization that inspires girls to be joyful, healthy, and confident, using an experience-based curriculum that creatively integrates running.
