USN is looking for volunteers to help coach the school's Girls On The Run team this year. Coaches do not need to be runners but should have a passion for mentoring and a commitment to creating a positive and inclusive environment.
By Rebecca Stokes, Director of Auxiliary Programs
Girls on the Run is a nonprofit organization that empowers girls in grades 3-5 through a unique program that combines physical activity with life skills lessons. The program aims to enhance girls' social, emotional, and physical well-being, fostering a sense of confidence, self-respect, and community.
Coaching for Girls on the Run involves guiding a group of girls through a 10-week curriculum, including lessons on positive self-image, healthy relationships, and goal setting, all while training for a celebratory 5K run.
Coaches must complete National Coach training, which includes both online and in-person sessions. USN's Girls On The Run team practices most Mondays and Fridays from 3:30 to 5:00 p.m. on the Back Field. Coaches do not need to be runners but should have a passion for mentoring and a commitment to creating a positive and inclusive environment.
