Success Coaches

Success coaches help youth who have been hurt emotionally, are disengaged, and have lost their confidence in others. Coaches foster a positive school experience and build confidence and skills for academic success. With the support of a success coach, children attend school more regularly, achieve higher results, avoid high-risk behaviours, make effective decisions and goals, and see a positive future for themselves.

How will students benefit?

Success coaches develop relationships with children and youth to:

• Promote a healthy view of education, and facilitate success in school by exploring future career opportunities
• Encourage participation in healthy physical activity
• Support transitioning to a new grade or school
• Build resiliency skills to cope with challenging situations
• Develop stronger social, academic, and communication skills
• Be more equipped to solve problems, deal with anger, and make positive decisions
• Increase their community network of supports
• Provide opportunities for healthy peer interaction
