Projects may include:
Program Support
Our 10-week season requires a lot of coordination from the Girls on the Run office; tasks may include:
Prep/assemble Coach supply boxes and training manuals
Prepare parent welcome letters
Prepare girl and coach rosters
Help respond to coach questions/inquiries via phone/e-mail
Assist with data entry of girl registration forms
Prepare and tally season-end program surveys
Girls on the Run Coach
The coaching program is the heart of the Girls on the Run volunteer experience.
Coach at one of our Bay Area program sites for the 10-week Fall '09 season,
beginning September 21st and running through December 5th. Programs meet twice
per week for 1 – 1 ½ hours. Coaches are paired with a co-coach
and receive training and support from the GOTR office. Often, our intern coaches
will take on additional office tasks on top of the coaching commitment.
Lollipop 5k Run Event Planning
The culminating event for all the Girls on the Run participants is the Lollipop 5k Run, held each May and December. In preparation
for this event, we will need help in the following areas:
--Marketing the Lollipop Run to parents, girls & schools
-- Event PR
-- Participate on/support Lollipop Volunteer Committee (PR & Marketing,
Food & Drink
Donations, Race-Day Volunteer Coordination, Logistics)
-- Assist with event prep including, goody bags, bibs, organizing supplies
Program Outreach Research
As a non-profit serving five counties in the Bay Area (San Francisco, Marin
Contra Costa, Alameda, San Mateo), we seek to raise awareness of our organization
among several different populations including schools, parents, girls, and
volunteers. This task will include internet research, distribution of marketing
materials, phone calls, etc. to existing organizations that would benefit
from knowing about our program and areas where we can market our program
to schools, parents, and girls.
Program Supply Donations
Throughout the course of our program, we need supplies of all sorts - from office materials to healthy snacks, to promotional materials such as signs and pamphlets. We try to work ahead and get products donated whenever possible. This will require
research into local businesses and sending letters to solicit donations.
Other projects/duties may include:
Volunteer support and appreciation
Research possible program contacts at local colleges
Various office projects
We need a good playlist for runner girls! Who likes music?
