    Description

    Mentor Coaches Needed: York, Chester, Lancaster County

    Just be yourself - we provide everything else!

    Not only do you have what it takes to make a difference in the lives on girls in your community, but you will also receive the tools and training necessary to help girls recognize that their power and potential are limitless.

    Coaches do NOT have to be runners or have any previous coaching experience.

    We serve girls in 3rd through 8th grade in York, Chester, and Lancaster County. Our teams meet twice a week for 90-minutes. We have school-based teams, which meet immediately after dismissal (typically from 2:30-4pm for elementary and 3:30-5pm for middle). We also have some evening teams. Our teams do not meet on weekend days.

    Our Fall 2026 season begins the week of 9/14/26 and ends on 11/21/26 with our celebratory Reindeer Romp 5K in Fort Mill. Each individual team will meet at various times depending on host site and coach availability. Once those days/times have been determined, they will remain consistent for the entire 8-week season. Coaches are needed 1-2 afternoons per week.
