I'm super excited to be a coach for Girls on the Run this Spring. There's nothing like being able to combine my love for running and my love for making a difference in the community.
I'm also grateful for a flexible work schedule that allows me to continue to do what I love. Big thanks to Marketeering Group! It's truly great to work for a company that encourages community involvement.
Are you interested in being a coach for GOTR this Spring season? Help us empower the next generation of women! We still need more fabulous volunteer coaches.
Girls on the Run of Puget Sound is a non-profit organization whose mission is to inspire girls to be joyful, healthy, and confident using a fun, experience based curriculum which creatively integrates running. Empower 3rd-5th grade girls to celebrate their bodies, honor their voices, recognize their gifts, and activate their power to make healthy choices for years to come!
As a coach, you'll work with 1-2 other coaches to guide a group of girls through an established, easy-to-follow curriculum that uses running games to teach healthy living lessons that develop the whole girl; her social, emotional and physical self. Together, you will explore issues like media awareness, nutrition, emotional health, positive communication, and community service. So go ahead, warm-up your spirit fingers, lace up your sneakers and inspire a group of girls to be strong and healthy.
For more information or to apply online, please visit http://girlsrun.org/get-involved/coach/. If you have additional questions, please contact Jen John, Program Manager, at jen@girlsrun.org or 206-528-2118. GOTR will be serving 57 different teams all over the King County region, so please spread the word near and far!
Amidst the conversation, laughter, hugs and energy awards, you will witness transformational change in the girls and don’t be surprised if you realize that you are positively changing as well!
