How to start a site

  1. Read through the “Setting up a Site Packet” thoroughly.
  2. Ensure that you agree to and understand the content.
  3. Ensure you have achieved all aspects of the site responsibilities/readiness to participate criteria.
  4. Fill out a site application.
  • Site application deadlines:
    To start a site for the fall season, applications are due by May 1
    To start a site for the spring season, applications are due by November 1

We are now accepting site applications for the fall 2012 season.

Before any new site is added, Girls on the Run St. Louis seeks to meet with the site liaison and others at the location to review the space and to answer any questions about the program or at least have a conference call. Once a site application has been turned in and the appropriate people at the site have been identified (site liaison, coaches, administrators, etc.), please contact the GOTR office to schedule a visit or phone call.

Girls on the Run St. Louis reviews site applications with its board of directors and aims to notify approved new fall sites in June and approved new spring sites in December.

Note that GOTR-STL is rapidly expanding and doing our best to accommodate as many new site requests as possible. We are somewhat limited by funding and staff capacity, therefore we can’t guarantee a site will be able to start simply because they completed an application. Please be aware that starting and maintaining a Girls on the Run site is a serious commitment for volunteers and a time intensive endeavor.

Please direct any questions you may have to Katie Helbig at (314) 862-6266 or katie@girlsontherunstlouis.org.

Thank you for your interest!
