Impact Communities is the provider of this exciting coaching and mentoring program in Tasmania.

Life Business Consultancy, Australia, has developed this ‘turnkey’ youth coaching system that includes both the TRAINING and CURRICULUM that schools and youth agencies need to deliver powerful life, career, performance and peer coaching programs in GROUPS OR ONE TO ONE straight away!

Coaching Young People For Success (CYPFS) is currently being implemented by youth practitioners and educators within career and transition, well-being, leadership, employment, juvenile justice and indigenous and non-indigenous youth support programs across Australia, and now within the US, Canada and the UK.

HOW the Program works

CYPFS includes FOUR COACHING MODULES that can be delivered separately or together to form an extended coaching program (up to 80 hours) to assist young people to design an inspiring life, career and school performance pathway plan and then support them to achieve it.

Each Module comes with its own step by step PowerPoints, a leader’s manual, eight sets of coaching activity card sorts, and pathway plan worksheets.

The pathway plan worksheets then provide a guide to focus and fast track change in all 1:1, group or peer coaching sessions.
