There are lots of ways you can help
change a girl's life through Girls on the Run of
Greater Sacramento!
Running Buddy
Be
the inspiration to a young girl and help her cross the finish line
of her first road race. The job of a running buddy is to be by a girl's
side for this fun and exciting experience. That means running or
walking at her pace, encouraging her to do her best, but also
recognizing and respecting her limits. The girls do a practice 5K at
their program site, but we need you to help pace them through the
main event! Please fill out the
Running Buddy Application.
Race Committee
Volunteers are needed to help set-up and
supervise are bi-annual 5K run at the end of each session.
This involves working with race directors, organizing the table,
organizing race packets for the girls, and organizing running
buddies.
If interested, please fill out a
Volunteer Application.
Coaching
Offers the most interaction with the
incredible girls who participate in Girls on the Run. Each coach
possesses great enthusiasm, strong character, and the joyful spirit
necessary to serve girls effectively. All share the desire to work
with girls from different races, cultures, and social and economic
backgrounds, and to prepare each girl for a healthy adolescence and
adulthood. Coaches participate in a thorough screening and training
process, which includes a detailed application, and a criminal
background check. Coaches are trained and certified in CPR and
First Aid. All coaches must attend a 4 hour GOTR training session.
If interested, please fill out a
Volunteer Application.
Board of Directors
The members of our Board of Directors have a variety of experiences
and talents, but all share the desire to help guide Girls of the Run
of Greater Sacramento through each running season and to plan for
the future of this program. We meet once a month for one hour.
If interested, please fill out a
