Volunteer at the 5k

Save the Date- 5/12/12

The New Balance Girls on the Run 5k will be on Saturday, May 12 2012 and we will need over 300 volunteers to have a successful race.  Our 5k is not like any other race in that we are celebrating girl power!  Third-eighth grade girls in the program come together at the end of the 10-week season to run/walk 3.1 miles.  They all have the same goal of completing a 5k and to continue moving forward in life.  Help us celebrate the many girls from across the St. Louis Metropolitan area and their achievement by volunteering at this event!

Who volunteers for Girls on the Run St. Louis?  Parents, teachers, coaches (in any sport), high school students earning community service hours, and local college students all support our program.  We welcome groups from local businesses to help out as well.

Check back soon to sign up to volunteer.
