Ask Me Anything: Emma

The Junior Coach Program is a mentorship program designed for middle years students (grades 6-8). The goal of the program is to help each student continue to build the confidence and ability they have obtained through the Start2Finish Running & Reading Club Program. The program allows each student to gain the aptitude and opportunity to advance, ensuring success at the next level. 

In our “Ask Me Anything” series, we ask Junior Coaches questions about the Running & Reading Club, who they are, and what they hope to achieve.
