Girls on the Run Coach/Mentor

Save to Favorites

Girls on the Run coaches are trained volunteers who lead a team of participants through a season of powerful and fun lessons. You do not need to be a runner; you simply need to have the desire to support and encourage the next generation. Coaches receive all the tools and support they need and find they get as much out of coaching as they give.
