Site Liaison Responsibilities

A Site Liaison is a representative from your site (school, community center, or organization) who helps make Girls on the Run possible at your location. The Site Liaison is the main contact for your site’s Girls on the Run team. They help coordinate communication, recruit coaches, and ensure the program runs smoothly — making the process easier for everyone involved. The Site Liaison will serve as the main contact between your site and Girls on the Run.
