Girls on the Run spring coaching opportunities
Girls on the Run of Greater Rochester’s spring coach registration is now open. Girls on the Run is a physical activity-based, positive youth development program that inspires girls in third through eighth grade to be joyful, healthy and confident. The ten-week program incorporates running to teach critical life skills, encourage personal development and foster team building and community service. Volunteer coaches utilize a curriculum to engage teams of girls in fun, interactive lessons. Teams meet twice a week for 75 to 90 minutes and the program culminates with all teams participating in a 5K event.
Girls on the Run of Greater Rochester currently serves girls at 78 sites in Monroe, Ontario, Wayne and Livingston counties. Volunteers provide critical leadership and the non-profit organization is currently seeking coaches to facilitate the program.
Coaches do not need to be runners but are required to be a minimum of 18 years old to serve as an assistant or 21 years old to serve as a head coach. All volunteer coaches must complete a background check and attend a training session.
