Each season, Girls on the Run has a dynamic group of coaches who volunteer their time to guide and mentor girls to prepare them to become happy, healthy, self-confident adolescents and adults. Coaches do not need to be runners; they need to be individuals who want to be a positive influence and are committed to developing and celebrating our girls. As our girls are of varying ages and activity levels, so are our coaches. We invite women and men of all ages and fitness levels to coach with Girls on the Run. When you sign up to be a GOTR coach, you're signing up to change lives. Our coaches come from various backgrounds, professions, and levels of experience. One thing they all have in common is a passion for helping girls grow.
At GOTR, we're committed to equipping our coaches with the skills and knowledge they'll need to lead their girls through a transformative season.
During training, which consists of online learning and 3 hours of in-person time, you'll learn about building GOTR-style relationships, creating an environment where girls can thrive, and developing a climate where all girls are celebrated for personal growth. You'll also get to practice leading a GOTR lesson, meet other coaches, share your expertise, and have fun.
No previous coaching experience is required; people of all genders and all athletic abilities are encouraged to coach with us. We'll provide all the tools and training you need to lead a team of girls through a fantastic season.
