Coaching Partners
We are proud to partner with the The International Coaching Federation and Animas 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.

One-to-one Coach (online)
Who are we are looking for?
We are looking for passionate and dedicated individuals to be an integral part of the Yes Futures programmes as a Yes Futures Coach, working online with students who attend secondary schools across London, East Anglia and the South.
Coaching experience is not necessary as full training is provided, but commitment and enthusiasm are essential. If you have a proactive attitude and feel excited and committed to Yes Futures’ vision of helping young people become confident, resilient and lead fulfilling lives, then we want to hear from you!
Impact Coach (in-person)
Who are we are looking for?
We have introduced the new Impact Coach role after feedback from our community of Coaches who have an interest in further developing their skills. We are looking for passionate and dedicated individuals to be an integral part of the delivery of our school programmes.
You will play a pivotal role in the running of the programme, supporting the Programme Manager with setting up and delivering the sessions and trips. While you won't be directly coaching students, you will use coaching skills to support them at school, and guide them throughout the programme. This role is perfect for someone looking to understand how a youth programme works and gain experience supporting young people face-to-face.
You may be coaching primary or secondary school students depending on your location. The primary and secondary roles differ slightly, so please read the role description carefully.
We cover all expenses, provide full training, DBS checks and ongoing support throughout the programme.
