GOTR Coach Needed! We are looking for two more people to help coach Girls on the Run this season. Girls on the Run coaches are trained volunteers who lead a team of participants through a season of powerful and fun lessons. You do not need to be a runner; you simply need to have a desire to support and encourage the next generation. Coaches receive all the tools and support they need and find that they get as much out of coaching as they give. Please contact Erin Kruckenberg if you are interested or have any questions. ekruckenberg@cusd50.org or 815-943-6464 ext 40210
