Programming hours are very busy. Can we meet at other times?

I don’t have time to do more than my regular job. How can I make time for coaching?
Project RISE coaches understand that there are only so many hours in the day. Your coach wants to help make things easier for you and better for the children you serve.
What are the next steps?
Communicate with your coach how and when you would like to meet and whether you prefer communicating through email, texts or phone calls to schedule coaching sessions.
