Organization Description

Girls on the Run of Puget Sound is a non-profit organization whose mission is to use the power of running to educate and prepare preteen girls for a lifetime of self-respect and healthy living. Since 2002, we have operated an after-school prevention program for 3rd to 5th grade girls at sites in the Puget Sound region. In 2009, we served over 250 girls at 13 sites, and involved more than 300 adult volunteers. We are an affiliate council of Girls on the Run International, which has a network of 160 locations across the United States and Canada. Learn more at www.girlsrun.org.

Volunteering Coaching*

We are looking for volunteer coaches for our spring 2010 season! Our coaches guide a group of 8 to 15 participants 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. Together, explore topics like body image, media awareness, nutrition, emotional health, and positive communication! For more information and applications visit www.girlsrun.org/coaching or contact Amber Swim, Program Coordinator, at abmer@girlsrun.org or 206-528-2118. Application deadline is February 15^th.
