Volunteer: Help local girls grow up confident - Coach with Girls on the Run!

Coaching with Girls on the Run is one of those experiences that fills your cup and makes a real impact. Our coaches help bring to life a future where no girl grows up doubting her self-worth, and you don’t have to be a runner to make that happen. You just need a big heart and a passion for empowering 8–12-year-old girls.

GOTR coaches commit to two practices a week (75–90 minutes each) from the week of March 9th through early May. We take care of the rest: you’ll receive full training in February, a complete curriculum, and all the supplies you need to lead fun, meaningful lessons that help girls build confidence, friendships, and healthy habits.

The process is simple: complete a coach application, let us know your location and availability, and we’ll match you with a team that fits. Show up as the role model you already are, and we’ll equip you with everything else.

Here’s what one of our incredible coaches has to say:

“My experience coaching at the Willow School was so fulfilling. Getting to know the girls on my team and coaching them physically as well as socially gave me a sense of accomplishment. Having the opportunity to share my experiences and learn with the younger generation of girls makes little me so proud of who I am today!”
Coach Claire, student at Loyola University

Join us today by completing our COACH REGISTRATION

Change the lives of local girls, and they just might change yours.

Volunteer: Be A Mentor To Our Boys & Young Men

Mentorship through Son of a Saint has a profound impact on fatherless boys by providing them with consistent guidance, emotional support, and positive role models. The organization helps these young men navigate life's challenges and develop critical life skills. Son of a Saint provided a space for the boys to host their very own podcast that I participated on a weekly basis and through this, I was able to witness the kids curate and host their own podcast ranging from sports topics to "What If" scenarios, which allowed the boys to build self-esteem, confidence, build on communication skills, express creativity and social skills. Like the saying goes, "If you love New Orleans, invest in its future."  Jonathan Turner, Mentor Since 2018
