What is C.O.A.C.H Community Mentoring?

C.O.A.C.H. Community Mentoring is a community strengthening project that aims to strengthen families through facilitating emotional, economic, social and spiritual growth.

C.O.A.C.H. targets isolated families with children under 12 at risk of isolation, conflict, addiction, poverty or other social problems.

The focus is on helping families by improving life skills, connection with community and health and well-being to prevent child abuse, family breakdown and educational failure.

How Does it Work?

• Recruitment, training and supervision for coaches
• Carefully matching families and volunteers
• Fun activities help build a supportive relationship
• Families identify strengths and weaknesses and learn new skills
• Enabling families to reach their life goals
• Families link in with employment, community and churches for long term growth and support

The coach listens, offers practical help and provides advocacy and coaching towards the families’ life goals. Coaching is a way to bring out the best in people and help them make use of their own resources.
