Girls on the Run (GOTR) is an afterschool program for 3rd - 8th grade girls. During an 8-week season we focus on lessons that build social, emotional and physical skills. The program sets girls on a path toward lifelong healthy habits, empowerment, and inclusion. After each season, participants become equipped with essential tools to navigate life’s challenges with empathy, grace, and courage. From there, they become changemakers who lead with compassion, kindness, and resilience.

Join the GOTR impact by volunteering this season as a coach or junior coach (16 - 18 year-old's in high school). You do not have to be a runner to volunteer! There will always be two coaches at each practice leading a group of 8 - 15 girls through the curriculum. Coach commitment is once a week for 1.5 hours. New coaches will attend new coach training to learn more about the program, best practices, and how to facilitate the curriculum. We have two seasons you can choose from. Our spring season starts in March - May and our fall season starts in September - November. 

Sing up to coach today! - www.embe.org/gotr
