The Community Coach program gives high school students that have either gone through The Youth Foundation programs or that have shown the inspiration to help younger kids, the opportunity to work with children throughout the valley. As Community Coaches they have the chance to help the Power Hour after school programs, help with Copa Edwards, The First Tee program, and also tutoring middle schools students. They all develop great leadership skills and learn how to be really passionate about giving back to their community. The Community Coaches volunteering efforts are greatly appreciated and they are rewarded with field trips and incentives throughout the year.
Recently we have been helping in the Power Hour programs by going to schools and helping teach kids art, fitness, robotics, Little Chefs, soccer, and other educational activities as well as providing positive support for students and teachers, no matter the coaches may find themselves. It’s really fun to interact with the kids and to help them learn important values all while having a great time doing a number of different activities and games!
