Volunteer Coaches are the heart of the Girls on the Run program, guiding a team through a curriculum that inspires and empowers young girls. Coaches are responsible for leading practices, facilitating discussions, and encouraging healthy habits.

Junior Coaches, aged 16 to 18, work alongside Coaches to inspire the next generation. They serve as role models, helping to lead practices and activities while developing their own leadership skills.

5K Event Volunteers help create a memorable experience for participants by assisting with various tasks such as setting up the course, managing water stations, and cheering on runners. Volunteers will receive a GOTR volunteer shirt.

GOTR Ambassadors in West Central Indiana support the mission of Girls on the Run by promoting the program and assisting with events. This role is perfect for those who want to make an impact but cannot commit to coaching.
