Community Based
Our coaching resources come from volunteers within our community and make up a vital foundation for the program.  This “grass roots” involvement makes the program sustainable and ensures a diverse mix of talent and experience to help ensure that the program meets the needs of participants. 

Be sure to read about our participating coaches in the 'Meet Our Volunteers' section of our website.   

Based on their experience and knowledge, coaches will provide feedback to the clients, provide suggestions, generate ideas, empower the client to make decisions, etc.  If you are interested, please request a Coaching Application Form from the Business Advisory Centre.
