Our coaches are the lifeblood of Girls on the Run. They show up week after week, rain or shine, to inspire and support our GOTR kids on their individual journeys of self-discovery and personal growth. 

 

While each coach is unique and brings their own blend of qualities to the table, all of them are positive role models who lead by example and have a passion for helping kids recognize their full potential.

 

To all of our GOTR coaches, we want to express our heartfelt gratitude for your unwavering dedication and passion. Your selfless contributions have a profound and lasting impact on the lives of the girls you mentor. You are helping to create a generation of strong, confident, and empowered young women who will go on to make a positive difference in the world.
