Give a hand to one that’s reaching.

Want to help someone create change?

The Courage Practice coaching scholarship program is an annual needs-based, little-to-no income program offering pro bono coaching services to those in dire need who are currently navigating challenges which exist beyond the reach of systems and communal support.

Here’s the raw truth.

Our societal systems miss the mark in delivering equitable access & equitable outcomes to all humans, often unflinchingly perpetuating oppression and deepening marginalization. And our communities are often too busy or entrenched in their own challenges to really engage in a meaningful way.

The Courage Practice seeks to partner with individuals & businesses who want to contribute a real hand to our scholarship recipients who are knee-deep in heavy change & transition.

If you believe in the power of courage in practice and want to join us in creating more opportunities for those at the edges of the system, please read below for ways you can contribute — in service, with dollars, resources, or through spreading the word to your communities.

This program sadly isn’t designed to serve thousands — although we admittedly wish it were. It is designed, however, to walk with five - ten scholarship recipients each year through pro bono coaching & consulting services to begin creating the real change they desire in their careers, housing, wellbeing, or way of life.

Read on for how you (or your business) can help.

“I don’t know where I’d be without this support. I lost my job and then my husband to cancer. Everything felt like it was falling apart at once. I was so scared and overwhelmed. She helped me research jobs, prepare for interviews, and even find a way to take my husband’s ashes out to sea [his burial request.] She was an ear and a strategic guide when I needed it most this year.”
