Girls on the run, Diakon

Make a difference in the life of a girl ... volunteer!

Our volunteers include a dynamic group of people who are committed to empowering girls so that they can become healthy and happy adolescents and adults. Running experience is not a pre-requisite to volunteer in one of the following ways.

Coach a Girls on the Run program
  • Meet once or twice a week for 10 weeks with a team of 12 to 15 girls to lead an engaging curriculum and train the girls to participate in a season-end 5K event.
  • You must be at least 21 years old (assistant coaches must be at least 18).
  • All training and support is provided by Girls on the Run of Lehigh County.
  • For more information, call 1-888-499-2699 or e-mail fls@diakon.org.
  • If you’re ready to sign up, click here to apply online.
Be a running buddy
  • Run side-by-side with an individual girl at the season-end 5K event to be her personal cheerleader and motivate her to cross the finish line.
  • You must be at least 16 years old and have sufficient running experience to complete a 5K event.
  • This is a great opportunity for those who want to be involved, but can’t make the commitment to volunteer weekly for 10 weeks.
  • All training and support is provided by Girls on the Run of Lehigh County.
  • For more information, call 1-888-499-2699 or e-mail fls@diakon.org.

Volunteer for the season-end 5K event
  • Volunteer just for the day of the race or join our planning committee to develop a festive celebration to make a memorable day for the girls.
  • We need people to assist with set-up, registration, water stops, general activities, photography, food distribution, clean-up, and lots of finish-line cheerleaders.
  • For more information, call 1-888-499-2699 or e-mail fls@diakon.org.
