The Role of a Life Coach
- Meet weekly with youth and are available by email and text.
- Provide direct supervision, care, and documentation of their youth during 1:1 time.
- Help youth achieve progress in learning, identify and manage reactions to stress and trauma, and respond in more socially appropriate ways.
- Maintain healthy relationships and boundaries with their youth.
- Recognize and celebrate youth progress and good choices.
- Collaborate with administrators, teachers, directors, case workers, and others in the community.
- Establish relationships to expand a circle of influence for each of their youth.
Goals for Our Youth

Support Material
The support material for our Life Coaches is built on 4 pillars, the acronym R-I-S-K:
- Relationships
- Identity
- Skills (Life Skills)
- Kindness
Asking a young person to step into a 1:1 with an adult they don’t know is often asking them to take a “RISK”. Most vulnerable youth have been “cancelled” on by the adults in their life. Together We Thrive does not cancel; we commit to the journey with our youth!
