238: From Disengagement to Empowerment: The Coaching Approaches Transforming Young Lives


Listen Later

In this inspiring episode of our Coaching for Good series, we dive deep into the transformative power of coaching and mentoring for disengaged and vulnerable youth. Host, Julie Flower is joined by Duncan Cherrett and Ana Collier from Young Devon, a leading charity in the southwest of England dedicated to supporting young people who need more help than traditional systems offer. They share how using a coaching philosophy in their work has provided empowering lifelines for many young people navigating complex life challenges.

 

Duncan and Ana discuss the evolution of their innovative mentoring programs, the requirements and qualities needed to become a young person’s coach, the challenges of securing consistent funding, particularly for preventative work, and the significance of local knowledge and partnerships. They also explain the significance of different methods of evaluation in demonstrating the impact of their programmes. Listen and learn how a relational, coaching-based approach can reignite potential, foster trust, and build futures that once seemed out of reach.

 

You will learn:

·       The importance of building trust and rapport with young people

·       Specific projects and initiatives by Young Devon aimed at supporting youth

·       The training and support they provide to their coaches and mentors

 

“The Empowering Enterprise Project was probably our most successful, where the freedom to be able to select the timeline, which was really important, and I think allowed far more success than you normally would get with some of those fixed term mentoring programs.”
