BE A COACH
Could you coach and empower our job seekers to experience transformation in life and work?
HOW IT WORKS
Thrive’s core program is built around live, coach-led online sessions that run on a five-week rolling cycle. Each session is standalone, allowing participants to join at any time and progress through the full series alongside a team of coaches and peers.
Volunteer coaches help facilitate these interactive sessions, which combine practical job search strategies with opportunities for reflection, discussion, and skill-building. Participants also have the option to attend additional “Level Up” sessions that dive deeper into practical, psychological, spiritual, and financial aspects of the job search journey.
WHAT WE'RE LOOKING FOR
We’re looking for individuals who believe in a strengths-based, whole-person approach to coaching. Ideal volunteer coaches:
- Value the lived experiences and resilience of each participant
- Are comfortable facilitating group conversations and encouraging participation
- Bring empathy, encouragement, and a non-judgmental presence
- Are interested in supporting individuals navigating complex life circumstances
- Are collaborative and willing to be part of a coaching team
You don’t need to have all the answers, just a willingness to listen, guide, and support others as they move forward.
WHAT YOU'LL BE DOING
As a volunteer coach, you will:
- Help facilitate live, interactive online sessions using tools like chat, polls, and breakout rooms
- Support participants in building practical job search skills, including resume development, job applications strategies, and interview preparation
- Provide encouragement and accountability as participants take steps toward employment
- Engage participants in reflection exercises that build confidence and shift mindset
- Reinforce a strengths-based message that each individual brings value, experience, and potential
- Optionally support additional Level Up sessions based on your interests and availability
You’ll play a key role in creating a supportive environment where participants feel seen, heard, and motivated.
COMMITMENT
- Participate in weekly online sessions as part of a coaching team during the five-week cycle
- Prepare minimally for sessions using guides and materials provided
- Option to support additional Level Up sessions offered multiple times per month

The structure is designed to be flexible while ensuring consistency and support for participants.
