Girls on the Run Greater Boston: Program Coordinator

Organizational Summary
Girls on the Run (GOTR) Greater Boston is a nonprofit organization dedicated to inspiring girls to be joyful, healthy, and confident using a fun, experience-based curriculum that creatively integrates running. Girls on the Run uses running as a vehicle for teaching life skills and promoting health outcomes for 8–14-year-old girls. As part of a network of Girls on the Run councils across the US and Canada, we implement a proven afterschool program in ~80 diverse communities in Eastern Massachusetts. 

GOTR Greater Boston is dedicated to being an inclusive, diverse, equitable, and accessible organization. We strive to create programming that engages all communities, to be intentional about staff and volunteer diversity, and to promote a culture of inclusion across the organization.

The Program Coordinator will join our team of 11 staff members as we work to benefit Boston-area girls (and youth who are non-binary or gender non-conforming) through our mission-driven nonprofit. In 2026, we will achieve our goal of serving more than 5,000 girls/year and look forward to continued growth in the coming years.

Position Summary
We are seeking a dynamic and results-driven team player who excels at relationship-building, inspires enthusiasm, and effectively communicates the value of our program to new schools and communities. The Program Coordinator is responsible for helping to drive program growth by identifying, securing, and stewarding teams, actively recruiting partners, and ensuring long-term sustainability of sites.

The right candidate for this role is someone who will thrive on pitching GOTR’s programs to potential new sites and volunteers while also giving each site they manage the care and attention needed to be successful for the long-term. This role requires strong communication, relational, and organizational skills, as well as technical skills needed to successfully manage program operations and administration behind the scenes.
