Become a Captain

Lead the Run. Empower the Next Generation.

Do you believe in the power of inclusion? Do you want to make a difference in the lives of kids while teaching them about compassion, courage, and the incredible superpowers of individuals with Down syndrome?

Join us as a RODS Heroes Run Club Captain!
As a volunteer captain, you’ll lead a local chapter of our inclusive run club — where kids lace up their shoes, move their bodies, and open their hearts.

Each week, you’ll:

  • Organize short runs and fun activities, M-F, 30 minutes a day

  • Share inspiring messages from individuals with Down syndrome

  • Teach kids what it means to be a real-life hero: someone who chooses kindness, stands up for others, and believes in every person’s worth

No coaching or athletic experience needed — just a big heart and a passion for empowering kids. We’ll give you all the tools, guides, and support you need to succeed.
