Girls on the Run of Puget Sound needs volunteer head coaches and assistant coaches for its spring session March 8- May 25.

Coaches guide a group of girls, 8-11 years old, through an easy-to-follow, well-researched curriculum that uses active running games to teach healthy lifestyle lessons and train the participants for a non-competitive 5K race at the end of the session.

• Volunteer coaches must be available during after-school hours.

• Program sites meet twice a week after school for 1 ½ hours.

• Coaches are expected to attend every practice.

• Each site has two to four coaches — one head coach and assistant coaches as needed.

• The program is offered twice a year: fall session (September to December) and spring session (March to June). Each session runs for 10 weeks.

• Head coaches must be 21 years or older.

• Assistant coaches must be 16 years or older.
