Girls on the Run coaches are trained volunteers who lead a team of participants through a season of powerful and fun lessons. You do not need to be a runner; you simply need to have a desire to support and encourage the next generation. Coaches receive all the tools and support they need and find that they get as much out of coaching as they give.
Do I need to be a runner or athlete to be a coach?No! Girls on the Run provides the training, curriculum and supplies needed to safely lead a team for a season! You simply need to be a motivating role model for your team. Many of our coaches participate in their first 5K alongside their team!
- Get to know and understand your co-coaches to better serve your team.
- Have fun while serving as a role model for program participants.
- Review, prepare and supervise weekly lessons (curriculum provided by Girls on the Run).
- Collaborate with other coaches for successful lesson delivery.
- Commit for the entire season (practices and end-of-season 5K event).
- Facilitate communication with parents/guardians of program participants.
