Opportunity Details

You have a tremendous opportunity to help girls understand the true inner power they possess; to serve as the critical ‘fuel’ that propels them forward in life. As a volunteer coach for Girls on the Run, you can unleash the strength, bravery, and limitless potential of girls in Union County.

Girls on the Run coaches are as unique as the girls they serve. Just like the girls, many are not runners. They are people just like YOU who take great pride and care in role modelling character, connectedness, and inner strength.

Girls on the Run coaches are truly a reflection of the girls we serve here in Union County. By being themselves, they prove that one person can really make a difference. And they have a lot of fun too!

There are over 700 girls waiting to participate in Girls on the Run here in Union County this Fall. They need you! We need you! Learn more about volunteer opportunities to coach with Girls on the Run Union County by visiting www.girlsontherununion.org/Coach.

With gratitude,
Kellen Williams
Volunteer Coordinator

PS– Please help us reach our goal of engaging 140 coaches this fall to ensure that all girls can participate by sharing this opportunity on your social media channels and by spreading the word. Thank you!
