The youth of today face many challenges at home, at school, from friends, and from society. Pressures, stressors and lack of a supportive system can lead youth to make bad decisions and take wrong paths in life, which can negatively impact the rest of their lives.
The saying goes: ''It takes a whole village to raise a child''. We believe that in order to inspire and empower youth, our heartwork is even more impactful when we involve all actors around the youth.
That is why we believe it is important to have positive role models in the formative years of a young person's life: someone who they can look up to, talk to and have as a support system when things get tough.
We aim to create a supportive network of trained coaches, called Heart-Centered Impact Coaches, who can:
Assist and support youngsters during our workshops and seminars
Guide and mentor youth leaders to make positive decisions
Become role models for the youth of Aruba
Facilitate workshops and activities under our Impact Activities
But why become a Heart-Centered Impact Coach?
Enrich your life with meaningful experiences (๐๐ฐ ๐ด๐ฐ๐ฎ๐ฆ๐ต๐ฉ๐ช๐ฏ๐จ ๐จ๐ฐ๐ฐ๐ฅ ๐ง๐ฐ๐ณ ๐ต๐ฉ๐ฆ ๐บ๐ฐ๐ถ๐ต๐ฉ ๐ช๐ฏ ๐๐ณ๐ถ๐ฃ๐ข!)
Develop new skills and gain work experience
Gain insights towards your personal growth (your values, qualities and competences)
Make new friends and have opportunities to network
Get a certificate
The path to become a Heart-Centered Impact Coach follows different training opportunities. The first of which is a 2-part training called 'I Am'. The I Am training course offers you the opportunity to look at and discover what your purpose and mission is in life, how to identify your values and applying them in your personal and work life, and much more.
Why is it this training course an important first step?
This saying comes to mind: ''๐๐ช๐ต ๐บ๐ฐ๐ถ๐ณ ๐ฐ๐ธ๐ฏ ๐ฐ๐น๐บ๐จ๐ฆ๐ฏ ๐ฎ๐ข๐ด๐ฌ ๐ง๐ช๐ณ๐ด๐ต. ๐ ๐ฐ๐ถ'๐ณ๐ฆ ๐ฏ๐ฐ ๐ถ๐ด๐ฆ ๐ต๐ฐ ๐ข๐ฏ๐บ๐ฐ๐ฏ๐ฆ ๐ช๐ง ๐บ๐ฐ๐ถ'๐ณ๐ฆ ๐ณ๐ถ๐ฏ๐ฏ๐ช๐ฏ๐จ ๐ฐ๐ฏ ๐ฆ๐ฎ๐ฑ๐ต๐บ''. It's a clichรฉ, but it's true. Caring for yourself first is often the best thing you can do, in order to help others.
