Alumni Coaching Program

 

The FCN Foundation is launching a new App and nurturing online coaching relationships within our membership community to help foster youth and alumni attain their goals. We want to support resilience, advance skills, and build capacity to complete post-secondary & professional goals. FCN seeks to cultivate a positive impact through developing meaningful relationships that focus on skill development and results.

Making Time to Thrive

Coaches and mentees decide exactly how much time you feel comfortable offering/sharing through the Alumni Coaching Program. It’s definitely important to talk early on in the coaching relationship about the commitment you are willing to make to participate in the program. It is highly suggested that Coaches/Mentees connect weekly through the app. The FCN Foundation’s App makes it very easy to reach out to each other through text and video. You don’t need to exchange phone numbers unless you want to!
