Girls on the Run

• Girls on the Run/Girls on Track is a 10-12 week after school program that uses the power of running to help prepare girls for a lifetime of self-respect and healthy living. It's a place where participants learn how to celebrate being girls by building self-esteem and improving emotional and physical health.
• Each session is led by trained coaches who guide and mentor girls though a fun and uplifting curriculum. Along the way, the girls train together to walk or run a 5K. 
• We are looking for both male and female coaches!
• Head coaches are required to be at their site twice a week and assistant coaches are required to be at their sites at least once a week.  The sessions run after school until 5 p.m.
