Girls on the Run (3rd-5th)

PLEASE NOTE: This program is on pause until a coach can be found.

Please contact steindorf.president@gmail.com if you’re interested in leading the program. A variety of resources and support are available to help you get started and lead the program successfully. For more information about Girls on the Run, visit the GOTR Silicon Valley website.

Girls on the Run is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization that offers after-school empowerment programs designed for 3rd-8th grade girls. We help participants build confidence, increase their level of physical activity, and learn essential life skills through the innovative integration of fun physical activities, life-skills lessons, and impactful community projects. The program runs for 10 weeks, culminating with a 5K at Vasona Park.

You do not have to be a runner to be a coach!
