In this one of a kind training event, The Smart School offers you a chance to learn the core skills of youth coaching and mentoring.
The one-day foundational course is highly-subsidised and costs just £25 to attend, including refreshments and certification. And we’ll hold nothing back in this punchy training course!
You’ll finish with a clear idea of what youth coaching is all about and a clear set of skills you can use immediately to work more effectively with young people.
At a time when funding for young people is being slashed, the need for people who can work as coaches and mentors both in the youth professions and the community is greater than ever. The skills blend well with traditional approaches to working with young people be that in education, employment, the workplace or even youth justice.
Indeed, many of the most successful family intervention practices use core coaching skills at their heart.
Benefits of youth coaching and mentoring for young people
The benefits of youth coaching and mentoring are enormous and though largely anecdotal have been seen time and again:
- Increased motivation for the young person
- Improved educational attainment
- Improved retention on training and educational programmes
- Improved employability and performance skills
- Healthier family lives and communication
- Improved relationship and parenting skills
- Greater focus on goals and directive action
- Improved emotional and behavioural self-management
- And much more
And of course, these benefits to the young person feed naturally through to organisations that implement youth coaching and mentoring.
Benefits to organisations and communities
- Better outcomes in education and the workplace
- Reduced costs of behavioural management
