Girls on the Run needs Junior Coaches as well...
Learn, Dream, Live, Run… and serve in a leadership position at the same time!
Middle school aged girls have the opportunity to serve as Junior Coaches for GOTR teams. The job is fun and challenging. Junior Coaches are the best role models for younger girls in the program. They assist coaches in all activities and exemplify the Girls on the Run attitude! They serve as a leader and a model for younger girls in everything that they do. We ask all our Junior Coaches to make a commitment to Girls on the Run – a commitment to improve themselves through running and leading, and a commitment to the younger girls and fellow coaches they are working with.
