About Coaching
Coaching a Girls on the Run program is the most rewarding way to get involved with Girls on the Run. You get to experience the program first hand, feel a sense of accomplishment that you have made a difference in the lives of girls and have a ton of fun with your team of coaches and incredible girls.
Coach is a volunteer position that works with a team of coaches to facilitate the Girls on the Run curriculum to program participants. Schedules vary by team, and coaching duties usually require five-six hours per week during our 10 week season, with additional time required on two weekend days for training and our end of season event.
Major responsibilities include: preparing, organizing, and supervising the weekly lessons; leading the program participants through each lesson; serving as a role model and mentor; attending a community running race with program participants and other volunteers; attending 1 Mid Season Coach Appreciation Meeting; interacting with parents of program participants; and understanding and believing in the mission of the organization and program. No running background required - you just have to want to be a role model for girls!
