Fall Into Purpose: Volunteer with Girls on the Run Greater Kansas City This Season
At Girls on the Run Greater Kansas City, our mission comes to life because of volunteers. From preparing materials behind the scenes to cheering girls across the finish line, every volunteer plays a role in helping participants build confidence, connection, and skills that last a lifetime.
As we look ahead to an exciting Fall 2026 season—and begin planning for Spring 2027—there are countless ways to get involved, whether you have a few hours to give or want to make a season-long commitment. Every volunteer helps create a positive, empowering experience for girls across our community. [Fall 2026...teer Flyer | PDF]
Start the Season Strong with CPR & AED Training
One of the best ways to prepare for volunteering with Girls on the Run is by attending our free CPR & AED Training. This training helps ensure our coaches and volunteers feel confident and prepared throughout the season.
Whether you're a coach, volunteer, parent, or community supporter, this is a great opportunity to learn life-saving skills while preparing for the season ahead.

Help Us Prepare for the Season
Before girls take the field, track, or playground, a lot of work happens behind the scenes. Volunteers help us prepare thousands of materials that make our programming possible.
These volunteer opportunities are perfect for individuals, groups, corporate teams, and anyone looking to make an impact in just a few hours.
Kick Off an Inspiring Season
Our season kick-off events help ensure coaches, volunteers, and staff are ready for another transformational season.
These events are a great opportunity to connect with fellow volunteers, learn more about our mission, and celebrate the start of another Girls on the Run season.

Our Fall 2026 season runs from September 14 through November 6, and coaches play a vital role in helping participants build confidence, develop life skills, and discover their strengths. No running experience is required—just a commitment to encouraging and supporting girls throughout the season. [Fall 2026...teer Flyer | PDF]
