    Be a Mentor for Young GIrls - Coach Girls on the Run

    Be a hero to young girls. Become a Girls on the Run Coach!

    Do you want to motivate, celebrate and empower girls to be strong, confident and healthy? If so, we need YOU!

    GOTR Coaches Are:

    Runners, Non-Runners, Young, Not-So-Young, Women or Men (yes, men!)GOTR Coaches Are:

    College and Grad Students, Teachers, Community Volunteers, Moms, Dads, Grandparents, Aunts, Friends

    GOTR Coaches Are:

    People that want to change the life of a girl.

    Coaching is a short-term commitment - one or two days a week for 8 weeks to make a big difference in the lives of the girls in our community. Interested? Contact sharon.stone@girlsontherun.org!

    Teams of 2-3 volunteer coaches facilitate our easy to follow curriculum with groups of 8-15 girls over the course of ten weeks. All sites meet once or twice per week after school. There are GOTR sites all over Whatcom County, typically meeting 2:30- 4:15 pm on Mon, Tues or Wed, or Thursday only 12:20 - 2:05 pm options available (3:30 for county districts).

    The 2025 fall season begins September 29th and runs through Saturday, November 22nd, which is our grand finale 5K at Bloedel Donovan (SO MUCH FUN!)

    Coaches are thoroughly trained and provided all necessary materials for the season. Coaches bring the smiles, fun and positive attitude! Please visit: www.girlsontherun.org to learn more about the program.
