PROGRAMS

Coach

GOTR Atlanta relies on volunteers to help us coach our programs. Coaching is a big commitment - 12 weeks in the spring and fall, one time per week for 1 ½ hours. Besides being role models of self-esteem and healthy living, coaches must be available after-school hours, and need to be trained in the GOTR lesson plans. Coaches work directly with the 3rd-5th grade girls - teaching them healthy habits and training them for the big 5K race!

Site Coordinator

The site coordinator is the contact person who coordinates with GOTR Atlanta and is responsible for registration and collecting program fees. This person can be a site employee or a parent.

Program Support

This committee puts together all materials used for lesson plans, as well as planning and organizing the race day experience for our girls. Working on this team is a great way to become familiar with our programs and get in on the exhilaration of the girls as they cross the finish line!

Regional Coordinator

This committee assigns one volunteer to four or five program sites that are located in a close geographic area. The Regional Coordinator acts as an extension of the Program Director and will assist them with various activities such as conducting coach training, site visits, passing out t-shirts, water bottles, etc. These volunteers must have been a coach for a minimum of two seasons and attended the GOTRI training.
