Volunteer Opportunity: Girls on the Run

Girls on the RunGirls on the Run is a non-profit youth development program that integrates running into lessons aimed to help young girls (3rd-5th grade) lead joyful, healthy, and confident lives.  On October 7th, we would appreciate 10-12 volunteers to helps us host a water station at the Bellin Women’s Half Marathon.  This helps us spread awareness about our program and partner with an event that empowers women.  This time is 7:30 a.m. – 10:30 a.m. and includes stetting up the station, distribution, and clean up.  Please contact Kathy Olson if you are interested and available at Kathy.olson@girlsontherun.org.

In this program, trained coaches lead small teams through our research-based curricula. The 10 week program culminates with a celebration 5k event at Fox Valley Technical College on November 4th.  We have a variety of roles for volunteers between 5:30 a.m. – 12:30 p.m. that includes set up, registration, facilitating an activity, course marshal, finish line volunteer, finish line refreshments, and clean up.  Please contact Kathy Olson if you are interested and available at Kathy.olson@girlsontherun.org.
