"We had a girl who came to every practice with different pains. She fought us so much through the process. However about half way through something clicked for her and she became so involved and supportive. What I loved most is that her mom even acknowledged how she’s changed without my asking her."

 

-Coach Ashley

Become a Coach

Girls on the Run coaches are trained volunteers who lead a team of participants through a season of powerful and fun lessons. You do not need to be a runner; you simply need to have a desire to support and encourage the next generation. Coaches receive all the tools and support they need and find that they get as much out of coaching as they give.
