We’re also looking for passionate and enthusiastic Learning Coaches to help guide these groups as Squad Leaders. If you love inspiring students and want to play a key role in their success, we’d love for you to join the team!

When students join a Strider Squad, they’ll make new friends, feel part of a community, and attend fun and exciting in-person events. Strider Squads are all about helping students feel seen, valued, and motivated to shine. Join the squad to make friendships that last a lifetime!

Starting this upcoming school year, ALL in-person events will be planned exclusively through Strider Squads. That means—if you're hoping for fun, local, face-to-face meetups for your student, this is how they’ll happen.

We need amazing volunteers to step up as Squad Leaders so students in your area don’t miss out. No leaders = no events. It's that simple.

If you believe in building connection and community—we need YOU!
