Becoming a coach is the most rewarding way to get involved with Girls on the Run. At each program location, two volunteer coaches work together to deliver the Girls on the Run curriculum, twice a week for 90 minutes to groups of 8-17 girls. You don't have to be a runner to be a coach- coaches simply must be passionate about the mission of Girls on the Run, committed to working with a group of girls throughout the ten week season (March - May) and able to bring energy and joy to each practice.
Girls on the Run strives to have our programming be consistent, providing the best possible experience for each girl. Our coaches are the most integral part of making that happen. We ask that you truly consider the requirements detailed in the volunteer coach job description**

Description
Girls on the Run is a non-profit organization that envisions a world where every girl* knows and activates her limitless potential and is free to boldly pursue her dreams! The ten-week long program for teams of 8-15 participants in 3rd - 8th grade meets weekly for 90 minutes with volunteer coaches (trained by certified GOTR staff) from your community, and combines training for a site-based 5K with a research-based curriculum that promotes critical social-emotional skills at a time when girls need it the most.
*Girls on the Run is a program for all girls: cis-, trans-, gender-nonconforming, and non-binary people who are comfortable in spaces that center the experience of girls. Our council is dedicated to every participant having the same high-quality experience.
