falling behind in some of my classes. Because of my coach, I was able to bridge the gap in my academic abilities. Over the course of my senior year, she helped me achieve various personal goals that ultimately allowed me to overcome obstacles I didn’t think possible.” — Diego https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c9aee01fb18202d338f589f/1555955575848-FLRF1LSSKR2CSJSGF2A3/Dominique.jpeg Success Stories “My coach helped me achieve both academic and personal goals I thought were impossible. Most importantly, she cared and believed in me through it all. Without her, I would not be the successful young woman I am today.” — Dominique https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c9aee01fb18202d338f589f/1555714028651-01KGIHSDLJR36M6UF0PJ/Hunter.jpg Success Stories “My coach’s ability to empathize and hold space are her superpowers. She helped me arrive at my own conclusions, especially when I was stuck in circular thinking and a fixed mindset. She was able to create a space in which I was able to understand and digest my own circumstances. With her help, I was able to build the lasting skills necessary to not only navigate the obstacle in my immediate field of view, but also obstacles I would inevitably encounter in the future. I am happy to say that I still consider her a trusted advisor and dear friend.” — Hunter https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c9aee01fb18202d338f589f/1555714039933-EP77NEOHO10CL4TM0MH2/Jojo.jpg Success Stories “My coach was more of a life mentor, friend, and second mom to me. I’ve learned how to express myself confidently and eloquently, prioritize my mental and physical wellbeing, and untangle emotional knots and mental blocks to problems both big and small. My coach truly embodies passion, genuine understanding, and kindness. She will, most definitely, positively impact your life.” — Joweina https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c9aee01fb18202d338f589f/1556688440179-2HOSV8S9UNWW9F0BO72Q/claire.jpg Success Stories “Thinking about my future made me extremely anxious, so I dreaded the college admissions process. My coach's energetic, caring, and approachable personality made me feel safe sharing personal feelings and being vulnerable during our meetings. I knew I could always trust her to listen, understand, and offer advice - she really has a gift for connecting with high-schoolers! Though she is no longer my college coach, she and I have continued to keep in touch, and I still consider her a mentor and friend.’ — Claire https://villagecoaches.com/girls-group daily 0.75 2020-02-21 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c9aee01fb18202d338f589f/1556734125044-GXLRYM017Z26XEHJUBF8/girlsgroup Girls' Group https://villagecoaches.com/resources daily 0.75 2020-08-24 https://villagecoaches.com/test-page daily 0.75 2020-08-27 https://villagecoaches.com/typ-e daily 0.75 2021-01-22 https://villagecoaches.com/educator-partnership daily 0.75 2021-01-22 https://villagecoaches.com/books daily 0.75 2022-03-12 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c9aee01fb18202d338f589f/1614561003715-XNFODVU3P9KUTR8RJF6Y/Screen+Shot+2021-02-28+at+5.09.49+PM.png Resources Children’s Health Council https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c9aee01fb18202d338f589f/1614563213609-KVWYL9PX2CBB34E2680D/CCY+logo.png Resources Center for Children & Youth https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c9aee01fb18202d338f589f/1614562599363-TL81PZ3RD3JDWY61P2UJ/SafeSpace_Logo_2x.png Resources Safe Space https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c9aee01fb18202d338f589f/1614561439544-GLWT4BME58Z1RDWZA3JE/Screen+Shot+2021-02-28+at+5.17.08+PM.png Resources Peterson Learning https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c9aee01fb18202d338f589f/1614563539288-5EF6CM3GU7XRSPSURNP0/Screen+Shot+2021-02-28+at+5.51.56+PM.png Resources Gaskin Tutoring https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c9aee01fb18202d338f589f/1614563702383-GYQDN9EMC70VJ732TFYB/Octant%2BLogo%2BFull%2BLarge%2BRGB%2BTransparent%2BBackground%281%29.png Resources Octant Academic Consultants https://villagecoaches.com/navigating-teen-turmoil-workshops daily 0.75 2022-01-26 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c9aee01fb18202d338f589f/127d9806-1155-490d-b8d7-aef55a4f9f13/Copy+of+Adulting+101+Eventbrite+Banner%282%29.png Navigating Teen Turmoil: A 3-Session Workshop on Parenting Effectively https://villagecoaches.com/getting-a-handle-on-screens-workshop daily 0.75 2022-02-02 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c9aee01fb18202d338f589f/f5f78a94-d662-4dee-b54b-70c6e27bf9ed/Copy+of+Adulting+101+Eventbrite+Banner%284%29.png Getting a Handle on Screens Workshop https://villagecoaches.com/-podcast daily 0.75 2022-08-17 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c9aee01fb18202d338f589f/1647048876462-4ZBKQGXVGSXDM4AG7J3J/Podcast+Cover+No+Title+%287%29.png > Podcast https://villagecoaches.com/free-guide daily 0.75 2025-03-18 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c9aee01fb18202d338f589f/1709069181425-WEY7ZW6QMMXCKRJFNXNC/image-asset.jpeg How To Write A Powerful Personal Statement - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c9aee01fb18202d338f589f/ee59f6d4-48e1-45e1-8cf2-68bcb6ad1d43/Personal+Statement+Guide+%282%29.png How To Write A Powerful Personal Statement - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c9aee01fb18202d338f589f/d09d4123-c84c-454e-82d1-e7175c219f72/Screenshot+2024-02-27+at+11.24.52+AM.png How To Write A Powerful Personal Statement - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://villagecoaches.com/freebie-ty daily 0.75 2025-03-04 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c9aee01fb18202d338f589f/ee59f6d4-48e1-45e1-8cf2-68bcb6ad1d43/Personal+Statement+Guide+%282%29.png You're IN!
