Girls on the Run is the social-emotional program for girls that teaches confidence, compassion, and critical thinking. The program also helps build connection and resilience, which are critical right now, as children and adults are dealing with the emotions of these trying times. We are looking for enthusiastic coaches to coach a small, IN-PERSON team (6-12 girls) of 3rd-5th grade girls at OAK MEADOW PARK IN LOS GATOS (Mondays and Wednesdays from 4:00-5:30 pm pm).

What it takes to be a coach (requirements and responsibilities):

  • Interest in being a role model and mentor to girls and living a healthy lifestyle
  • Complete online training modules that will prepare you to successfully lead lessons
  • Commitment to attend and lead twice-weekly, IN-PERSON lessons for 8 weeks (90 minutes each)
  • Agree to LiveScan background check and 2 personal references; be over the age of 18

The health and safety of our coaches and participants is our top priority. We have modified our spring programs to include these COVID-19 safety measures:

  • In-person teams have the flexibility to transition to virtual programming, if needed
  • Teams of 6-12 girls to maintain stable cohorts
  • Everyone must wear masks and maintain social distancing
  • Hand sanitizer and space-delineating tools for each team
  • Personal bags of materials (journals, markers) for each participant
  • GOTR provides all training, curricula, and materials for a successful season
