    Description

    Let Me Run Volunteer Coach (Snohomish, King, Pierce, Kitsap Counties)

    Join the local Let Me Run region for our Spring Season 2026. Our trained coaches combine exercise with fun activities and lessons to help boys learn teamwork, build relationship skills, create friendships, grow emotionally, amplify their self-esteem, empower themselves and others, and live an active lifestyle. We nurture and celebrate every aspect of what it really means to be a boy, and we let them run. We hope to reduce the challenges associated with a lack of emotional expression in pre-teen and teenage boys, which can lead to stress, sickness, disease, addiction, and violence.

    Let Me Run is a nonprofit wellness program that inspires boys to be themselves, be active, and belong. With a comprehensive curriculum that applies the power of running, the program encourages boys to develop their psychological, emotional and social health, in addition to their physical health.

    Twice a week for seven weeks, two trained volunteer coaches lead an elementary or middle school team through practice. Designed to amplify confidence, self-expression, and respect for others, each practice includes a lesson from the Let Me Run curriculum that incorporates running, games and activities. Each fall and spring season culminates in a 5k race festival that celebrates the boys’ personal growth.

    Let Me Run provides free coach training and all curriculum and supplies. We have sites in Snohomish, King, Pierce, Kitsap and Chelan Counties. Take a look at https://letmerun.org/regions/seattle/ for all locations for Spring 2026. Dates and times of practices vary by location and release time from school.

    All current sites ready for coaches are listed on our website: https://letmerun.org/regions/seattle/
