Volunteer coaches are the backbone of NorthSouth online coaching program. Being able to coach young children is an honor! NorthSouth is grateful to the volunteers who provide selfless service to help our children improve their learning skills.

Being a volunteer coach is very demanding, but it can also be very rewarding. While it can feel overwhelming to step into the role of a coach, NorthSouth will help you to be both confident and competent through training, materials and ongoing support. A key attribute of a successful volunteer coach is passion. It is important to make sure the children have fun while learning.

Coaches are drawn from passionate volunteers who want to share their knowledge and expertise. Many volunteers are parents who want to help other children along with their own.

So, whether you're a talented high schooler, a freshly minted graduate, a mid-career professional, or a retiree with years of experience, NorthSouth volunteer coaching program could be just the way to share your knowledge and make impact. As the saying goes, Sharing is Caring. When you share your knowledge, it multiplies.
