Spring 2025 Volunteer Coaches

Girls on the Run Worcester County is recruiting volunteers ages 18+ to coach! Girls on the Run Spring 2025 Season will be an 10 week season for GOTR and is slated to begin the week of March 3rd, 2025 and run through the week of May 19th. Each team will consist of 8 to 15 participants, meet two times per week for 75 to 90 minutes, and will be led by three certified coaches.  

The total coaching commitment is around 40 hours for the season: 3 hours/week for 10 weeks, plus an end of season 5K [Sunday, May 18th, 2025]. We also host new coach training for a half day prior to the start of the season that is required. We understand the end of the semester can be challenging to continue this commitment. Depending on the number of coaches at the site you are placed at, you may be able to request to not be present for the dates in May if necessary. Do not let this deter you from applying if you are interested!

You do not need to be a runner (or even enjoy running) to be a coach! No experience necessary, just heart, time, positive energy, and a passion to impact youth in our community!

• Commit to practices each week (2x90 min)
