Life Coaching for local young people.
Grit Charity and The Harrow Club, in partnership with three local schools (All Saints, Chelsea Academy & KAA) are delivering a personal development programme for their Year 9 students. We have opportunities for volunteers to coach and support students to make the most of their education, developing their skills and talents for the future.
You will be joining the programme in it’s second year, with the added value of working alongside volunteers who have already delivered the programme and with the learning outcomes from the 25 young people supported previously.
What will I get for my time?
Participation in the Grit Life Coach training designed and delivered by some of the best trainers in the field of personal and professional development.
Having the experience and satisfaction of directly coaching a student and witnessing their development.
Improved leadership, communication, and interpersonal skills – increasing effectiveness at work and in relationships with family and friends.
A better understanding of young people and issues affecting their lives.
