The Gift of Coaching

Many coaches donate scholarship hours to clients they deem appropriate. Still others activately tithe coaching hours to worthy causes. Whatever form it takes, pro-bono coaching is gaining momentum. We like to call this the act of giving the Gift of Coaching, so that's what we've called this project.

In partnership with ModestNeeds.org, the Gift of Coaching will aggregate donations of coaching hours in one 'big bucket' and make them available through online matching technology to constituents around the world.
