HeartShare is looking for Coaches
Coaches are full-time, trained professionals who are matched with 15-20 young people ages 14 and older in foster care. Coaches meet young people “where they are” and build a trusting relationship with them using an authentic, trauma-informed, strength-based approach. In addition to providing weekly emotional support, Coaches help young people make progress towards their academic, career development, housing/independent living, and other life goals. When a young person is unsure of their goals/interests, Coaches help them explore and expose them to potential opportunities. They then help young people connect to schools, programs, and opportunities in line with their goals/interests, persist in those settings, and plan/prepare for the next step on their journey. Coaches celebrate young people’s progress; if something doesn’t work out, Coaches help young people reflect and connect to the next opportunity.
Coaches will receive training in youth engagement, coaching, and how to navigate the educational, career, and housing systems and resources in NYC. They also have access to an array of voluntary professional development supports, including 1:1 technical assistance and membership to a learning community with Coaches from other foster care agencies.
We respectfully ask a minimum 1-2-year commitment to this role, given the importance of young people having consistent, caring adults in their lives, and the significant investment our team will make into supporting and developing Coaches.
The College Coach is a critical position within HSVS’ American Dream Coaching Program. The Coach will provide quality, data-driven, individualized educational, employment, and housing support to HS graduates and youth in college currently or formerly in foster care. The Coach will work with the case planning team, students, families, and school staff to connect students with the services they need to raise their level of educational achievement, secure employment, prepare for housing if eligible, and ensure that key transitions receive proper attention.
The College Coach will give particular focus to helping their youth achieve the best possible educational, employment, and housing outcomes. The Coach will be responsible for following the Fair Futures Goals and Steps model, Bottom Line curriculum resources, monitoring data, using data to help inform interventions, and inputting data into HSVS’ Fair Futures Platform.
The College Coach will be expected to create a calm, trauma-informed environment, and use a non-judgmental, strengths-based, and collaborative approach to working with the youth. The College Coach will report directly to the Director of Youth Development.
