Volunteering with Community Programs |
| Girls on the Run coaches are trained volunteers who lead a team of participants through a 10-week season of powerful and fun lessons. Coaches receive all the tools and support they need and find that they get as much out of coaching as they give. Sites are located throughout the Greater Charlotte area so you can choose a location and practice times that work for you. Season Details

| You will coach boys through exercise and fun activities, which will help them learn how to express themselves, reach personal goals, and improve their overall wellness. Let Me Run lesson plans, including “Real Men Show their Feelings, Everyday Heroes, and Getting to Know You,” prepare boys for the long run by encouraging full expression of their individual feelings. Plus, you will instruct the boys on proper running form and correct stretching techniques. At the end of the 7-week program, you and your team will celebrate your hard work with a 5K road race.
