Make A Difference! Join Our Team!

 

Thank you for your interest in becoming a DreamRoads Personal Success Coach! Personal coaching is one of the most important components of the DreamRoads program.  For this reason we are deliberately selective about recruiting and accepting applicants to join our team. Not everyone who is interested in volunteering to work with young people will be accepted as a DreamRoads Coach.  We are looking for people with certain qualities; able to make the required commitment; able to meet the requirements; and with the desire and willingness to become part of a professional corps of trained DreamRoads Coaches. 

​

One does not have to have any particular expertise (i.e. be a teacher, school counselor, parent, etc.) to be an effective Coach.  The characteristics we look for are found in a wide variety of people---people of all ages, from all walks of life, all career fields, etc.  We look first for these qualities in those who we invite to be Coaches.  We believe character is innate, whereas skills can be taught. 

​

​

Most DreamRoads coaching takes place online using a videoconferencing platform (such as Google Hangouts, Zoom, Blue Jeans, etc.).   In some cases Coaches meet face-to-face with their student(s), most often at their school or youth development organization. 

​

DreamRoads Coaches are paid a stipend depending upon how many students they’re coaching, how often, experience, etc.  The stipend is meant to be a “thank you” and to instill commitment and professionalism, but don’t plan to retire on it!
