With a vision to make a difference in the lives of the next generation of leaders, 17 International Coaching Federation (ICF) coaches will provide pro bono coaching services to 17 first-generation college students graduating from Cohort 8 of the Leaders in Training (L.I.T.) program.
International Coaching Week is an opportunity to be a part of a supportive and inspiring community of ICF coaches who understand the transformative impact and power of the profession. This year’s International Coaching Week theme, “Explore Your Potential,” fits in with these students, who have spent the last four years in the L.I.T. after school program, developing their leadership and supporting them in graduating high school and being accepted to colleges, or where appropriate, military or trade schools.
The participating ICF credentialed coaches bring an array of expertise and approaches to their coaching engagements. The coaching engagements will take place over a period of 3 months, with each student receiving a minimum of 10 hours of pro bono coaching as they transition from high school into college. The coaching engagements will focus on helping the students set goals, create awareness, build confidence, maintain focus, and establish good habits that will increase their academic and personal success.
