Meet The Team

The following two volunteers were sent to Charlotte to learn how what it takes to run a Girls on the Run® council and coach the first season at Hill House. As the two quickly learned, the many facets involved and the national program brings so many interested participants and volunteers. Both volunteers are busy building the program and working to raise money for further development within Boston. The volunteer database is rapidly expanding and these two ladies are working to develop the best possible program with all the resources available.

Meet the leadership team and learn a little about their careers and personal interests....
