Training December 15
Prescott Valley AZ (November 19, 2018) – Are you interested in serving as a volunteer guide or mentor for someone reentering the community after being incarcerated? If so, the Yavapai Reentry Project is seeking your help as a Community Coach. Volunteer coaches give these individuals the opportunity for community support, the ability to build healthy relationships and to create hope for their future.
Community Coaches receive free training to learn needed skills for working one-on-one in helping provide referrals, emotional support and resources for former inmates. No experience, prior qualifications or education is needed. All that is needed is the desire to help.
The next Community Coach training will be held on Saturday, December 15 from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. at the Step One Building, 6719 E. 2nd Street in Prescott Valley.
To register call MATFORCE at 928-708-0100 or email at matforce@cableone.net.
Retired Psychologist Kay Krizek will be conducting the training. Kay has also been a Community Coach for six women. Community Coach Kay Krizek says, “Community coaches provide vital support for formerly incarcerated individuals upon being released from jail or prison. The most important characteristics that a community coach possesses are a listening ear, an open mind and a caring heart.”
