Want to get involved, but can't commit to a full season of coaching? Join Girls on the Run of Northern Arizona Pacesetters. GOTRNA Pacesetters are a group of volunteers who set the pace by supporting our program in a variety of ways including:

Site Visits
Gear Distribution
Outreach
Event Support Team

Site Visit Team: As a Site Visit Volunteer you will be given the unique opportunity to connect with coaches and participate in lessons with our Girls on the Run teams. You will help support program delivery and ensure its quality, making sure our mission of helping every girl reach her limitless potential is achieved. Availability is needed from September through October during after-school hours.

Distribution Team: A distribution team member ensures all Girls on the Run gear is packed and delivered including shoes, sports bras, and T-shirts, delivering items directly to schools with care and efficiency. Availability is needed from September through October, preferably between 2:00–5:00 PM, with flexibility on the number of days or frequency. We can accommodate different schedules if needed.

Event Support Team: The Event Support Team plays a key role in the success of our three major annual events: the Flagstaff 5K, Camp Verde 5K, and the Galentine's Day Celebration fundraiser. Members assist with event setup, teardown, water and cheer stations, and, based on their comfort and skills, help secure sponsorships and raffle items to enhance the experience. The 5K celebrations are held the first two weekends in November: one in Flagstaff and one in Camp Verde. The Camp Verde 5K has the highest need for volunteer support. With our Galentine's Day fundraising event held annually on February 13th.

Outreach Team: The Outreach Team represents Girls on the Run Northern Arizona at community events through tabling efforts, distributing flyers, and spreading awareness about our mission to inspire and empower local youth. Opportunities to serve are scattered throughout the year and training is provided.

We serve schools across Northern Arizona, including Coconino and Yavapai Counties and the Navajo Nation. As a Pacesetter, you can choose the role and location that best match your skills, interests, and availability—there’s no expectation to do it all! GOTR staff will provide all the training and support you need for the role you select.
