<p>26-27 Girls on the Run Program Optimization VISTA</p> <p>Girls on the Run of the Bay Area (GOTRBA) is a nonprofit that inspires girls in grades 3-8 to be joyful, healthy, and confident through a fun, experience-based curriculum that creatively integrates running. Each year, we serve over 2,000 girls across five Bay Area counties through after-school programs that build critical life skills like confidence, teamwork, and goal-setting-all culminating in a celebratory 5K. We provide sliding-scale fees, offer programs in under-resourced communities, and aim to ensure every girl has the opportunity to participate regardless of financial or geographic barriers. The Program VISTA will play a key role in expanding GOTRBA's reach by developing outreach materials, supporting recruitment campaigns, and building connections with schools, parks, and community-based organizations. This is a highly collaborative and creative role that blends communications, research, relationship-building, and strategy. The ideal candidate is proactive, detail-oriented, and excited about creating inclusive systems that help more families learn about and access our programs. If you enjoy storytelling, community engagement, and making a lasting impact in youth development, this is a unique opportunity to contribute to something meaningful while gaining hands-on experience in nonprofit outreach and program growth. As a VISTA member, you'll work with a small, passionate team and leave behind a lasting infrastructure for recruitment and awareness-ensuring more girls across the Bay Area can benefit from our life-changing programs.
