Become a Coach

Coaches are the heart of our program! Each season, two or more volunteer coaches inspire and guide a team through our tried-and-true curriculum. If you're ready to directly make an impact, then this role is for you.

We are a group of passionate, dedicated professionals helping to promote Girls on the Run Greater Houston. We may not have the time to be a team coach, but we can certainly help broaden the awareness of this empowering program through volunteering, fundraising and bringing great people together at our social events.

More than 65% of girls participating in GOTR receive some financial assistance.  We help significantly in closing the funding gap the organization starts with each season with our fun social events.
