Girls on the Run is a national organization whose goal is to inspire self-confidence and a healthy lifestyle in girls between the ages of 8 and 13 through participation in running programs.  The groups also discuss issues related to all areas of wellness, with the hope that this will help build a lasting self-confidence.
Volunteers for Girls on the Run help in several different areas.  The coaching position requires more of a time commitment, but is great for individuals who are looking to have a more in-depth involvement.  Girls on the Run also has volunteers called "running buddies," who may not have the time commitment to be a coach but are still interested in helping out.  Running buddies run with the girls on a race day and offer them support and encouragement along the way.
