Description

We focus on the whole girl!

You do NOT need to be a runner to be a coach. 

Dedicated trained volunteer coaches motivate girls to develop confidence and essential life skills by gathering in small teams (8-20) and engaging in interactive lessons and physical activities, even. Volunteer Coaches are paired with other coaches to form a coaching team.  GOTRSV provides all of the training, materials, and support for the season.  

Our lessons focus on building social, emotional, and physical skills in girls while encouraging healthy habits for life.

Each season comes to an end with a joyful and fun non-competitive 5K. This culmination gives girls a tangible sense of accomplishment and the confidence to be the author of their story.

Become a Coach, Change a Life

Coaches are the heart of our program! Volunteer coaches inspire and guide a team each season through our tried-and-true curriculum. Not a runner? No problem, all you need is a desire to support and encourage girls. If you're ready to directly make an impact, then this role is for you.

As a coach, you will:

  • Receive all the tools and support you need to lead interactive and easy-to-follow lessons with your co-coaches
  • Help girls grow their confidence, stand up for themselves and give back to their communities
  • Help to transform and strengthen the next generation of girls
  • Experience the positive impacts yourself!
Meet for 90 minutes twice a week after school days for 10 weeks, and exact times/days vary by location.  Spring season starts September 5, 2023.

“Even though you’re teaching girls all about self-esteem and healthy habits, you also get something out of the experience yourself. I learned to be more confident in my leadership abilities. I had a blast doing this program and it was an experience I’ll never forget. The energy during the final 5K is amazing!” Beth, GOTR Coach

Days and times vary by site.  We will pair you with a team that matches your availability.
