Girls on the Run of Greater Hartford’s Fall Coach Registration is now open. Girls on the Run is a physical activity-based, positive youth development program that inspires girls in 3rd through 6th grade to be joyful, healthy and confident. The ten-week program incorporates running to teach critical life skills, encourage personal development and foster team building and community service. Volunteer coaches utilize a curriculum to engage teams of girls in fun, interactive lessons. Teams meet twice a week for 90 minutes and the program culminates with all teams participating in a 5k event.
Coaches are needed for the following towns: Avon, Burlington, Canton, and Simsbury. Teams will meet after school, approximately 3:30 – 5:00 p.m. depending upon the site.
Coaches do not need to be runners but are required to be a minimum of eighteen years old to serve as an assistant or twenty-one years old to serve as a head coach. All volunteer coaches must complete a background check and attend a training session.
