The Max Potential Program
Max Potential brings young people and volunteer Community Coaches together in a structured six-month journey of personal leadership, coaching and community impact.
Through workshops, one-to-one coaching, goal setting and a Community Service Project, participants build confidence, develop practical leadership skills and take meaningful steps towards their own goals.
Community Coaches receive practical training in core coaching competencies and personal leadership, preparing them to confidently support a young person through the program.
Training is designed for employees of partner organisations and community volunteers, with skills that can be applied in the workplace, leadership roles and everyday life. Community Coaches also receive three one-to-one Professional Coaching Sessions focused on their own goals and development.
Coach Training
Three interactive workshops bring Young Adults and Community Coaches together throughout the program to learn, connect and build momentum.
Through practical activities and personal leadership development, participants explore key concepts, reflect on their progress and celebrate wins along the way. Workshops are delivered through a mix of in-person and online experiences.
Group Workshops
Individual Coaching
At the heart of Max Potential is the relationship between each Young Adult and their Community Coach.
Over approximately 22 weeks, each pair completes at least eight one-to-one coaching sessions, supporting the Young Adult to set meaningful goals, build confidence, overcome challenges and take action.
Coaching encourages self-awareness, responsibility and accountability — helping young people learn to lead themselves before leading others.
Community Coaches are supported throughout the journey with their own Professional Coach and three individual coaching sessions.
Community Service Project
Every Young Adult has the opportunity to turn leadership into action by designing and delivering a Community Service Project.
Young people identify a local need, connect with community organisations and develop a practical response with guidance from their Community Coach and local collaborators.
The project builds initiative, communication, problem-solving and leadership skills, while creating a tangible and positive contribution to the local community.
