Training for 261 Club Directors

Women’s Leadership Education for Club Directors

For a 261 Club to be established in a new country (or state in the USA), a new local non-profit business needs to be formed. If you’re a woman with a passion for non-competitive running, women’s empowerment and women’s education and in addition you have skills in business or non-profit work, this is a wonderful opportunity for you. You could become a Club Director and establish and manage a 261 Club. We’re looking for highly motivated, committed, organized and patient individuals to take on this challenging but incredibly rewarding role.

The benefit I enjoy most is connecting with so many wonderful and inspiring women around the world who serve as Club Directors in their country. This global community is especially empowering!

All new Club Directors need to participate in the Business Training. Our Education team will guide you through the steps to launch and manage your 261 Club. This training and certification are carried out virtually with one to one education and mentoring.

The women’s leadership training for Club Directors includes:

  • The business aspects of 261 Clubs
  • How to establish, maintain and manage a non-profit business
  • How to identify target groups and best-practice-examples
  • Budgeting
  • Team recruiting
  • Team leadership

You will receive one to one mentoring from a Club Network Manager until the establishment process of your non-profit 261 Club is completed.

Club Directors may also coach Meet Runs, but this is not a requirement of the role.
