VOLUNTEER

There are lots of ways you can help change a girl's life through Girls on the Run Salt Lake!

Running Buddy

Be the inspiration to a young girl and help her cross the finish line of her first 5K. 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!  If interested, please fill out an 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.  All coaches must attend a 4 hour GOTR training session.  If interested, please fill out a Volunteer Application.

Race Committee

Volunteers are needed to help set-up and supervise our 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.
