LifePlan Coaching:
Referrals & Registration

 How It Works 

Youth are referred to PACT by youth court judges, probation officers, middle school staff, and other community agencies and partners. PACT arranges an intake assessment with the youth and/or parent guardian to assess suitability.

​

Participants are matched with a professional life coach who they meet by phone, video, or in-person in the community on a weekly basis.

​

PACT continues to identify and address needs, advocate on behalf of the youth, make referrals to additional supports, and assist with goals as applicable.

​

Quarterly assessment meetings with the youth, parent/guardian (if applicable), coach, coach manager, and referral agent to further support and provide continuous care.

A comprehensive intake assessment helps to identify the youth who are ready for change in their lives, can articulate their goals, and are open to accepting help in order to achieve those goals.

​

PACT will look at every potential candidate on a case by case basis to determine any restrictive conditions on probation orders that may prevent full participation in the program.
