Liberation Coaching

Liberation Coaching is the heart of our work. Our coaches walk alongside young people as partners, not professionals who “fix.” Every coach brings lived expertise, deep compassion, and a commitment to supporting youth as they build lives rooted in healing, stability, and self-defined success.

After a warm, one-on-one intake with our staff, each young person is matched with a dedicated Liberation Coach who becomes part of their support system—someone who listens without judgment, helps navigate real-life challenges, and celebrates every win along the way.

Liberation Planning

The Liberation Plan is a roadmap created by young people, for their own future. We believe young people know what they need—we simply help them name it, map it, and access the resources to make it happen.

With their coach, each young person:

• Identifies current barriers they are facing (housing, school, childcare, systems involvement, mental health, safety, transportation, etc.)

• Names short-term and long-term goals that feel meaningful to them

• Breaks each goal down into achievable steps

• Identifies resources, support, and accommodations needed

• Creates a plan that is flexible, trauma-informed, and rooted in their strengths

The Liberation Plan is not a static document—it grows as they grow. Young people meet with their coach weekly (or more, if needed) to check in, adjust their plan, celebrate progress, and work through challenges that come up in real time.
