Girls on the Run Worcester County

We are dedicated to creating a world where every girl knows and activates her limitless potential.

Girls on the Run® is a 501(c)3 non-profit organization dedicated to creating a world where every girl knows and activates her limitless potential and is free to boldly pursue her dreams. Our coaches encourage young girls to be joyful, healthy and confident using a fun, experience-based curriculum which creatively integrates running. Meeting twice a week in small teams of 8-20 girls, we teach life

skills through dynamic, interactive lessons and running games. The 24-lesson curriculum is taught by certified Girls on the Run coaches and includes three parts: understanding ourselves, valuing relationships and teamwork and understanding how we connect with and shape the world at large. Running is used to inspire and motivate girls, encourage lifelong health and fitness, and build confidence through accomplishment. Important social, psychological, and physical skills and abilities are developed and reinforced throughout the program. At each season's conclusion, the girls and their running buddies complete a 5k running event which gives them a tangible sense of achievement as well as a framework for setting and achieving life goals. The result—making the seemingly impossible, possible, and teaching girls that they can. The Girls on the Run program is now serving over 130,000 girls in 200+ cities across North America each year. Karen Spencer, Lynn Sayarath, the Girls on the Run Worcester County Board of Directors, and a group of dedicated volunteers have been working tirelessly to continue to expand our program in Worcester County and the surrounding communities.

🌟 Make a Difference This Fall & Become a Girls on the Run Coach! 🌟

Pssttt...Girls on the Run is not a running program. We use running as a conduit to instilling confidence in our girls 👧 So, you don't have to be a runner to be a coach! 💜

Girls on the Run coaches come from all backgrounds; parents, teachers, college students, retirees, community members, and professionals who are passionate about empowering girls. If you enjoy mentoring, encouraging, and helping young girls build confidence, you can be a GOTR coach!

This fall:
🏃‍♀️ Heart & Sole begins the week of September 7
🏃‍♀️ Girls on the Run begins the week of September 21
📅 Girls on the Run is an 8-week season filled with fun, movement, and life-changing lessons.

We are especially looking for coaches in:
📍 Mendon
📍 Douglas
📍 Rutland
📍 Millbury
📍 Sutton
📍Northborough
📍Westborough
📍Lancaster

Here at GOTR Worcester County, we will certify you in CPR, give you continuing education credits (if needed), train you, and run your background check. As a coach, you'll help participants build confidence, strengthen friendships, and discover that they are capable of more than they ever imagined.

Ready to inspire the next generation of strong, confident girls? We'd love to have you! Head to www.gotr-worc.org to start your application; just click on REGISTER.
