Girls on the Run Coach

Girls on the Run is an after-school program for children in 3rd through 8th grade. Our innovative lessons deepen our participants’ understanding of self-love and inclusion that impacts them and the world around them. Our engaging lessons focus on:

• Building the confidence to be yourself
• Encouraging others to be confident
• Creating the confidence to make an impact in your community

Girls on the Run provides all of the logistical support needed to host a team. This includes everything from coach training, background checks, liability insurance, supplying curriculum and materials, to managing the registration process for participants and supporting coaches throughout the season.

At GOTR WMA we match volunteers with a Girls on the Run Team in your area. The teams meet twice a week for 90 minutes afterschool from mid September to mid November. The days that you meet are determined by the coaching team. Each team has at least 3 coaches and 8-15 girls. Each 90 minute lesson has a social emotional topic that is brought to the girls through fun games and movement activities. The curriculum and all materials needed are provided so there is minimal prep needed.

To become a coach you need to submit an application, complete a background check, interview and participate in new coach training.
