Girls on the Run Headquarters: Council Operations Manager

Girls on the Run International is a nonprofit organization dedicated to creating a world where every girl knows and activates her limitless potential and is free to boldly pursue her dreams. We inspire girls across the United States and Canada to be joyful, healthy, and confident using a fun, experience-based curriculum which creatively integrates running. As a physical activity-based positive youth development program, our evidence-based curriculum is designed to enhance girls’ social, psychological, and physical skills and behaviors to successfully navigate life experiences. 

At Girls on the Run, our core values guide our way, and we strive to eliminate barriers to participation and create a culture of belonging across the organization. In a recent third-party work culture survey, Girls on the Run employees described the organization as: collaborative, joyful, hardworking, caring, fast-paced and quality-focused. 

Reporting directly to the Vice President, Council Development, the Council Operations Manager supports the execution of Council Development and Training priorities by coordinating projects, organizing data, improving the visibility of team work across HQ and moving team work forward.
