What is a teen life coach?

A Teen Life Coach helps adolescents navigate challenges, build confidence, and develop life skills. They provide guidance on issues like academics, relationships, self-esteem, and goal-setting. Unlike a therapist, a life coach focuses on the present and future rather than past trauma. Their goal is to empower teens with strategies for personal growth and success.

What are the key skills and qualifications needed to thrive as a teen life coach?

To thrive as a Teen Life Coach, you need a solid background in youth development, mentoring, and effective communication, often supported by a relevant degree or certification in coaching or counseling. Familiarity with coaching platforms, digital communication tools, and confidentiality protocols is commonly required. Outstanding interpersonal skills, patience, active listening, and the ability to build trust with adolescents are crucial soft skills. These skills enable coaches to effectively guide teens through challenges, foster personal growth, and create a supportive, impactful environment.

What are some common challenges faced by teen life coaches, and how can they be addressed?

Teen Life Coaches often encounter challenges such as building rapport with reluctant clients, navigating sensitive issues like academic stress or low self-esteem, and working collaboratively with parents or school staff. Addressing these challenges requires a flexible and empathetic approach, a strong understanding of adolescent development, and adherence to ethical boundaries. Coaches often use strategies like motivational interviewing, goal-setting techniques, and regular follow-up sessions to motivate and empower teens. Ongoing professional development and supervision can also help coaches refine their skills and stay updated on best practices, ensuring they provide the most effective support to their clients.

How much money do Teen Life Coaches make?

Teen Life Coaches typically earn between $25,000 and $60,000 annually, depending on experience, location, and client base. Many work part-time or freelance, setting their own rates, which can range from $30 to $100 per hour. Building a strong reputation and obtaining relevant certifications can help increase earning potential.

Location: Springfield, MA
RFK Community Alliance is seeking a compassionate, creative, and motivated Life Coach to join our Young Adult Supported Living (YASL) Program in Springfield, Massachusetts.
In this role, you will empower DCF-referred young adults ages 18-22 as they transition to adulthood and develop the skills, confidence, and independence needed to live successfully in the community. You'll provide individualized coaching, hands-on support, and real-world learning opportunities throughout Western Massachusetts.
About the Young Adult Supported Living Program
RFK's Young Adult Supported Living Program provides DCF-referred young adults ages 18-22 with individualized housing, case management, life-skills development, and experiential learning opportunities designed to prepare them for independent living.
The program serves up to 12 transition-aged young adults, providing a safe and supportive environment where participants can learn, practice, and master essential skills while gradually increasing their independence, self-initiation, and decision-making abilities.
About the Role
The Life Coach works closely with the Program Director and Case Manager to implement the YASL program and support participants from intake through discharge.
The ideal candidate is a self-starter with strong organizational and communication skills who enjoys coaching young adults through a client-centered, strengths-based approach. Creativity, flexibility, cultural responsiveness, and a genuine passion for helping young people succeed are essential.
The Life Coach will maintain a caseload of approximately 12 young adults and help participants establish and maintain stable housing, build independent living skills, connect with community resources, and achieve their personal goals.
Key Responsibilities
  • Serve as a positive role model and collaborative team member while maintaining appropriate professional boundaries.
  • Manage a caseload of approximately 12 young adults in partnership with the Case Manager.
  • Provide individualized, person-centered coaching, support, and modeling focused on engagement, goal-setting, and future planning.

  • Promote healthy lifestyles, wellness practices, and overall self-sufficiency.
  • Ensure participants maintain their apartments in accordance with health and safety standards.
  • Collaborate with the Case Manager to plan and facilitate engaging fun and functional sessions focused on executive functioning and related skills, including planning, organizing, prioritizing, scheduling, time management, task initiation, problem-solving, and effective use of technology.
  • Communicate effectively with participants, families, community providers, and other members of the participant's support team.
  • Maintain timely and accurate documentation of participant progress and make recommendations for additional services when appropriate.
  • Assist young adults in identifying and addressing immediate and long-term needs related to safety, well-being, housing stability, and self-sufficiency.
  • Participate in treatment planning and psychoeducational groups.
  • Attend RFK meetings, trainings, webinars, and YASL-specific meetings and trainings as scheduled.
  • Represent RFK professionally and consistently with agency standards, policies, ethical guidelines, and expectations.

Qualifications
  • Associate degree required, preferably in Human Services, Psychology, Social Work, or a related field.
  • Experience working with youth in out-of-home placements preferred.
  • 1-2 years of experience working with at-risk youth and/or in housing services preferred, but not required.
  • Lived experience with housing insecurity, teen parenting, foster care, or related experiences is valued but not required.
  • Strong self-awareness and the ability to work effectively and respectfully with individuals from diverse cultures, backgrounds, identities, and life experiences.
  • Excellent communication, organization, problem-solving, and interpersonal skills.
  • Valid driver's license, dependable vehicle, and current auto insurance required.
  • Ability to successfully pass required background checks, including CORI.
  • Bilingual skills are a plus.

Schedule
  • Full-time: 40 hours per week
