Roles

Your Mighty Milers program includes two roles for staff and volunteers: Site Coodinators and Site Leaders.

Site Coordinators

They perform the overall administration of Mighty Milers programs, in other words, they’re in charge. As Site Coordinator, they are the primary contact person working with NYRR. Staff members or volunteers who assist with Mighty Milers will seek them out for guidance and help.

Session Leaders

Staff members or volunteers who assist with the running or administration of your Mighty Milers program. They can help by:

• Supervising Mighty Milers sessions
• Counting and recording students’ laps
• Entering laps or miles into STRIDES, our online tracking platform.

Using this Program Guide

Your role and experience will determine how this program guide can help you:

New Site Coordinators

This online program guide takes you through everything from selecting and preparing the physical space to using STRIDES, our online progress recording platform. We suggest that you read through all five of the sections of this Program Guide 

Returning Site Coordinators

As a returning Site Coordinator, you will be signing up new students to your Mighty Milers program and reassigning students to their new classes. As you review the start-up guide, see the Set Up section for instructions on reassigning students to their new classes in STRIDES, our new program management platform that's replaced the Mighty Milers Database.

Session Leaders

For the important work that you do, please start with the Running Sessions section. Go to Program Maintenance if you are responsible for entering student mileage. When you’re ready to add a little zip to your sessions, check out Resources.
