The impact Girls on the Run makes is dependent on dedicated volunteers like you, who are committed and passionate about our mission and vision.
Coaches are the heart of our program! Each season, two or more volunteer coaches inspire and guide a team through our tried-and-true curriculum. If you're ready to directly make an impact, then this role is for you.
Additional Volunteer Opportunities
Running Buddies play a special role on race day by running, jogging, or walking alongside a Girl on the Run participant during her celebratory 5K. Your encouragement and presence help make the experience empowering, fun, and memorable.
You don’t need to be a runner—just bring a positive attitude and a willingness to support a girl as she reaches a goal she’s worked toward all season.
To be a Running Buddy, please complete both steps:
