Girls on the Run NJ East

GOTR NJ East traditionally serves approximately 2000 girls/year at over 70 sites across 5 NJ counties (including Mercer!) through after-school programming. We are always looking for volunteer coaches to help us lead our small group sessions (2x a week for 1.25 hours during a 10 week session).

Girls on the Run is a strength based, positive youth development program for girls in 3rd-8th grades. Over the course of a ten-week season, trained coaches lead small teams of girls through our research-based, social-emotional learning curricula, which uses running as a platform for teaching life skills and promoting holistic health outcomes for pre-adolescent girls. The program culminates with girls positively impacting their communities through a service project and completing a celebratory 5K event.
