Coaching Partners
We are proud to partner with the Association for Coaching, Animas Centre for Coaching, Optimus Coach Academy and MOE Foundation to connect more young people with their skilled coaches.
There have been so many occasions that inspired me throughout my volunteering. One that stands out was the Play Your Part trip and the incredible opportunity to have a deep dive into values in an informal coaching setting - while trimming blackberry bushes to support the local park. I was astounded that this could facilitate powerful and genuine coaching conversations.
