The Site Liaison Role

Every team requires a Site Liaison (the Site Liaison can also serve as one of the team coaches)

Site Liaison Description:

  • A representative from your site (school, community center, or organization) who helps make Girls on the Run possible at your location.
  • They are the main contact for your site’s Girls on the Run team with the GOTR staff.
  • They coordinate communication with caregivers, recruit coaches, and ensure the program runs smoothly.
