• New eCourse Release Tour: Featuring Advancing Family-Centered Coaching

    We are excited to bring you a new eCourse on Community Action Academy to help advance your agency’s practice with Family-Centered Coaching.

Based on open-source content developed and revised by the W.K. Kellogg Foundation and The Prosperity Agenda, this eCourse includes videos, reading, scenarios, and quizzes to help learners build coaching skills, engage in the coaching process, work through implicit bias, and assess agency readiness. Access Advancing Family-Centered Coaching on Community Action Academy for free, today! Join us on March 17th for a webinar to kick-off the release, and provide a tour of the course components that can help you and your organization move forward in this practice.
