Girls on the Run of Pasadena and the San Gabriel Valley needs your help! We are looking for volunteer coaches, office, and special event support. [ Download Volunteer Form ]

COACH

Coaching Girls on the Run is a life changing experience! Coaches (group facilitators) do not have to be runners or athletes, but they do have to possess a passion for helping young girls, the ability to have fun and lead a group. Girls on the Run provides training and materials. Coaches must be available at least one day per week, M-Th between 3:45 and 5:15pm. Coaches must also attend a training session to understand the philosophy of the program, examine some of your own "girl-box" issues while at the same time fine-tuning your facilitation skills. Training sessions are a lot of fun and fully prepare you.

For more information on becoming a Girls on the Run coach contact Maria Case at 626-590-4770 or maria@gotrpasadena.com.

Volunteer coaches must be CPR certified and pass a background check.
