We couldn't deliver our transformational program without the help of our inspirational coaches! No prior coaching or running experience is needed.

Coaches receive all the tools and support necessary to be successful. Many say that they get as much out of coaching as they give!

Support Our Teams

Last year we established a snack program to help participants facing food insecurities. After identifying high-need teams, we worked with local food banks and supporters like you to provide healthy snacks.

By providing these snacks, participants are given the energy they need to successfully complete their GOTR practice and the reliability that they won't be hungry after school. 

Please consider using our Amazon Wish List to make an individual contribution or organize a group fundraiser!
