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.

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!
