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.

Having experience with young people would be advantage but by no means a necessity. Many previous Life Coaches have had no previous experience but have been very successful in working with the young people.

We will need the following:

You are aged 21+
Be able commit to coaching a young person, fortnightly, face to face, for 6 months, between February and July 2024 (arrangements can be made for holidays
Undergo an Enhanced DBS check and undertake the online Introduction to Safeguarding Training

This all takes place in Kensington & Chelsea

Training will take place at the Harrow Club in North Kensington with 1-2-1 coaching sessions at the schools
