5. Who delivers
the program?
Dedicated volunteer coaches donate their time
and expertise to deliver the kids.now program.
Though they come from all walks of life - business,
academia, theatre, health care, finance, law -
they share a common passion, bringing out the best
in kids.
Potential coaches undergo an extensive screening
process. They are carefully selected to bring enthusiasm,
experience and reliability to their role. During
two interviews, we find out why they want to coach,
what obstacles they have overcome and whether their
personality will inspire the kids. They must also
provide three reference and a police check.
Then we match successful candidates with a school
according to the specific needs of the school and
the preferences and characteristics of the coach.
At the end of the program coaches are evaluated
by their kids and school champion for meeting curriculum
and performance objectives.
In addition to receiving training in program delivery,
coaches are invited to an emotional
intelligence workshop that enhances
their personal and professional leadership development. And
our ongoing volunteer support program ensures that
our coaches are a happy and appreciated bunch.
