Girls' Running Team Coaches

Girls on the Run is looking for volunteers to serve as Team Coaches for young girls. Coaches are trained volunteers who lead a team of participants through a season of powerful and fun lessons. Coaches do not need to be runners themselves; they simply need to have a desire to support and encourage the next generation. Coaches receive all the tools and support they need and find that they get as much out of coaching as they give!

Volunteer Coaches will:

• Accommodate a regular practice schedule twice a week for 75-90 minutes
• Act as the main site contact for families, participants, and council staff
• Offer a safe, accessible outdoor place with a restroom (and a designated indoor space for inclement weather)
• Help recruitment efforts and distribute marketing materials
• Provide families with registration assistance
• Identify 2-3 coaches from their site and/or community

All coaches must pass a background check and at least one coach from each site must be certified in CPR. Express interest to learn more!
