The impact Girls on the Run makes is dependent on dedicated volunteers like you, who are committed and passionate about our mission and vision.
Coaches are the heart of our program! Each season, two or more volunteer coaches inspire and guide a team through our tried-and-true curriculum. If you're ready to directly make an impact, then this role is for you.
Junior Coaches are needed to inspire the next generation! Our Junior Coach program is for high school girls aged 16 to 18. Beyond serving as a role model to program participants, Junior Coaches work alongside Coaches, strengthening their leadership skills and gaining a sense of belonging and purpose.
Additional Volunteer Opportunities
Girls on the Run-Chicago 5K Volunteer Opportunities - More to Come!
This season our sites have the option to attend our large Scale 5K, attend a CARA Go Run or to host their own Site-Based 5K at their school or neighborhood park. Later in the Spring we will be looking for volunteers to help with tasks including event set-up, clean-up, passing out medals, and cheering for the girls!
