CALL FOR EXPRESSIONS OF INTEREST FROM GOSFORD BUSINESSES AND INDIVIDUALS TO BE INVOLVED IN
YOUTH LEADERSHIP COACHING
What is Max Potential?
The Max Potential program offers 22 weeks of personal leadership development, including coaching, to young leaders from schools and the community to help them maximise their potential during the final years at school and beyond. It also encourages students to focus on the local community and ways that they can work to improve it.
Volunteer Community Coaches?
Max Potential draws on leaders within the community, business, industry, schools and churches, equipping them with progressive coaching skills and tools that apply across personal, life and employment contexts.
Volunteer community coaches will be given training in a life-coaching model which explores ten personal leadership principles and the opportunity to use these in practice with Max Potential youth participants, supported by a Future Achievement coach.
All volunteer community coaches will have the opportunity to build coaching into a personal and professional leadership profile, including the possibility of further life coaching accreditation through Future Achievement Australia.
There will also be a certificate of participation which can be used for further career opportunities.
What’s the commitment?
There are a few key dates, highlighted in the coach application form, which volunteer community coaches will need to be available for in order to participate in the program. Volunteer community coaches also need to commit to eight regular 60 to 90-minute coaching sessions with the young person they will be coaching.
Volunteer community coaches will also be given four one-hour coaching sessions with a Future Achievement Australia coach during the early part of the coaching process, with ongoing support via phone or email until the end of the program.
How much does it cost?
The cost of providing these services is approximately $1,450 + GST. This will be partly funded by Gosford RSL Club through a limited number of scholarships offered in 2010 as well as funding from individuals and organisations paying for their employees to be a Max Potential volunteer community coach (learning, developing and practicing the skill of coaching through Max Potential then bringing their new found coaching skills back into their organisation).
