Programs
Girls on the Run (3rd-5th Grade)
Girls on the Run inspires individuals of all abilities to discover, build, and grow their self-confidence. Together, they experience a sense of belonging and connection as a team. Volunteer coaches facilitate lessons that blend physical activity with life skill development, including managing emotions, fostering friendships, and expressing empathy. At the end of the season, the team completes a Community Impact Project and a 5K together, which provides a tangible sense of accomplishment and sets a confident mindset into motion.
Heart & Sole (6th-8th Grade)
Our Heart & Sole middle school program is designed to meet the unique needs of 6th-8th grade girls of all abilities. The program considers the whole person – body, brain, heart, spirit and social connection. Heart & Sole offers an inclusive place of belonging, where participants feel supported and inspired to explore their emotions, cultivate empathy and strengthen their physical and emotional health. At the end of the season, all team members complete a 5K.
Volunteering + Events
Volunteer at the 5K
Over 200 5K Volunteers are needed to ensure a safe, fun, and memorable experience for thousands of 5K participants in May and November!
In-office Volunteers
Throughout the year, we have various projects at our office in Maplewood! This may include supply bin building, t-shirt sorting, and more. Volunteers can come in individually or bring a group to help. These opportunities take place during business hours.
Become a Coach
Volunteer coaches are at the heart of Girls on the Run! GOTR coaches are trained volunteers who lead a team of participants through a season of powerful and fun lessons. You do not need to be a runner; you simply need to have a desire to support and encourage the next generation. Coaches receive all the tools and support they need and find that they get as much out of coaching as they give.
