 Increased impact and sustainability in community work are no longer aspirations, but requirements. In a global world, local issues now have regional, national, and international effects.
Community work must stay at the cutting edge, creatively serving all people in a complex modern era and consistently adapting to benefit the whole. The Community Coaching Certification supports professionals in doing just that.
The first of its kind, the program draws on the power of coaching to increase healing, regeneration, and change within communities in need. The approaches taught have proven successful in individual, organizational, community, and even national and international spheres. It’s now time to take these skills deeper and more purposefully into our communities, so that they can thrive and we can all thrive as a result.
The 9-month certification program offers critical skills of value to any organizational or community system. Certification enables graduates to help employers and communities with their advanced competency as community leaders, coaches, activists, and direct service staff of community programs.
Graduates will be able to:
-
Navigate complex situations using a coaching approach to gain insight and clarity.
-
Realize lasting solutions to the toughest problems.
-
Build and support leadership development at all levels in a community.
-
Implement change more rapidly and effectively.
-
Generate authentic and grounded action.
-

-
Balance individual interests with the whole.
-
Magnify the value of diverse perspectives.
-
