Programs Overview

Each program is based on the essential skills and way of being that Liberatory Coaches embody. The more time that you spend with us, the deeper we go. Each program has an application process so that we can ensure a balance of identities - race, gender, movement sector, experience, etc. Currently, our 9-month Liberatory Coaching Certification Program is only open to BIPOC social justice leaders.

  • Introduction to Liberatory Coaching

    This offering teaches you foundational coaching skills that you can use in almost any situation while giving you a good sense of what you will experience in the full 9-month program. The ILC functions as the first weekend of the 9-month CHJL professional certification program. If you are interested in the 9-month program, we highly recommend that you take this course first, to get a sense of the program and the commitment.

  • 9-Month Liberatory Coaching Certification Program

    The 9-month Coaching for Healing, Justice and Liberation program is a professional coaching certification training, meant for social justice movement leaders in all realms: professional coaches, foundation and nonprofit staff, community-based organization members, and anyone who is deeply rooted in BIPOC communities.

    The 9-month program teaches liberatory coaching skills from an anti-systemic oppression lens, with the awareness of spirit and the ancestors.

  • Coaching for Healing and Non-Violence in Prisons

    Coaching skills are widely taught to corporate and nonprofit leaders, but the coach approach has rarely, if ever, been taught to people incarcerated in prisons and jails.

    The core purpose of Coaching for Healing and Non-Violence is to bring Liberatory Coaching skills to cohorts of siblings that are peer educators, teachers, facilitators and mentors inside California State Prisons.

    While this work is on hold due to COVID-19 restrictions, we will resume the program as soon as we can. We also anticipate expanding this program to a California women's prison.
