Girls on the Run NJ East is excited to continue our Ambassadors group in 2024 to build awareness, excitement and support for our program in Burlington, Essex, Hunterdon, Mercer, Morris and Union counties. Last year, we had 27 awesome Ambassadors who helped ignite our mission and empower more girls in New Jersey!

What are expectations for Ambassadors?
Girls on the Run NJ East asks Ambassadors to make a one-year commitment to the organization, however the role may continue beyond one year if it is a beneficial partnership for both the Ambassador and Girls on the Run NJ East.
Expectations of Ambassadors include:
- Uphold Girls on the Run’s core values

How will Girls on the Run NJ East prepare, support and recognize Ambassadors?
New Ambassadors will receive a welcome packet with everything needed to get started. Girls on the Run NJ East’s staff will provide Ambassadors with information, materials and ongoing support. Quarterly meetings will also help Ambassadors have the knowledge and confidence to fulfill their role. We are excited to celebrate our Ambassadors by listing your names on our website and Gratitude Report, gifting you with GOTR gear, and other fun surprises throughout the year!
