Through funding from Portland Parks and Recreation and She Flies, coaches who elect their interest may be able to receive a stipend of $200 to help offset personal costs incurred with coaching such as transportation and childcare. 

We know that Girls on the Run is a more inclusive and impactful experience when coaches mirror the participants. To ensure we best represent the communities we serve, BIPOC and LGBTQIA+ individuals, people from low-income communities, and those with disabilities are encouraged to apply to coach. To do so, apply via our coach application.  

This program is made possible by support from Portland Parks and Recreation, Rite Aid Healthy Futures, and SHE FLIES. We hope to be able to expand our funding available for stipends in the future.

Complete all necessary coach training and onboarding and be placed with a Fall 2024 team as a head or assistant coach. One week before the start of the season, stipends will be offered in a phased approach to accepted and placed head and assistant coaches until all available funds have been allocated.

Available funds are limited and will be allocated on a first-come first-served basis in order of request.
