Recruiting Organization: Hark-ALS/Girls on the Run of Central NJ

GOTR of Central New Jersey Young Professionals Advisory Committee

The Girls on the Run of Central New Jersey Young Professionals Advisory Committee ("YPAC") is for professionals in our serving area in Central NJ (Camden, Middlesex, Monmouth, Ocean and Somerset) just starting out their careers who want to get involved with the Girls on the Run mission. As a YPAC Member, the responsibilities include recruiting and engaging donors and volunteers, providing a fresh perspective to the Committee, and managing events such as the end of the season 5K. The YPAC Member will act as a brand ambassador for Girls on the Run and bring new ideas to assist in achieving the GOTR fundraising goals and objectives. In addition, a Social Media skillset is extremely desirable for this role.

Committee Member Position Description

Girls on the Run is a physical activity-based positive youth development program that uses running as a vehicle to influence positive social, cognitive, physical, emotional, and psychological assets and development. Over the course of the program, girls will: develop and improve competence, feel confidence in who they are, develop strength of character, respond to others and themselves with care and compassion, create positive connections with peers and adults, and make a meaningful contribution to community and society. Such life skills will prevent unhealthy and risky behaviors, such as physical inactivity and negative body image, and promote positive health outcomes (e.g., physical, mental, social, and spiritual health).

Girls on the Run believes that all girls and communities should have access to our programs. We strive to eliminate barriers to participation, to continue creating programming that engages all communities, to be intentional about staff and volunteer diversity, and to promote a culture of inclusion across the organization.
