At Girls on the Run of Greater Knoxville, our volunteers are the heartbeat of everything we do.

From coaches who bring our evidence-based curriculum to life, to event volunteers who make event days magical, to board members who guide our vision - our work simply wouldn’t be possible without them. This series celebrates the people who make it all happen and offers a closer look at the many ways volunteers power our mission.

Your GOTR Journey

What part of the Girls on the Run mission resonates with you the most and why?  Empowering the next generation to lead with strength and compassion.

What is one of your favorite GOTR moments or memories? It's hard to narrow it down! I loved my first 5K, but I loved my first board meeting too. The board welcomed me with open arms, and they make everything fun.
