Girls on the Run Seeks Coaches for Fall
Girls on the Run is gearing up for the fall season, and we need volunteers to help us build strong girls at Sarpy County schools.
We’re looking positive-minded, can-do volunteers to inspire girls to be joyful, healthy and confident to coach two days per week after school from Sept. 1 to Nov. 3.
You DON’T have to be a runner to get involved – you just need to live a healthy lifestyle, project a positive attitude and have passion to help young girls put their best foot forward with our transformational social-emotional learning program.
Girls on the Run is an innovative after-school program that combines exercise, education and mentoring to promote self-esteem, goal-setting and healthy living in third- through sixth-grade girls. Teams meet for 75 minutes twice a week for two months to play interactive running games and train for a 5K run/walk at the end of the season.
Coaching entails:
• Sixteen 75-minute meetings with your team over two months (20 hours)
• Two hours on 5K Day
• Training (two hours of online modules and an in-person meeting in August)
• CPR/First Aid, if required (one coach per site)
