Family Coaches come alongside parents as they work toward stability, offering encouragement, support, and the hope of Christ along the way. They build relationships with both the parent and Host Family, helping everyone feel supported during a hosting. It's a meaningful opportunity to walk with a family through a challenging season and remind them they're not alone.
Family Coaches have the opportunity to walk alongside parents during a challenging season, offering encouragement, support, and friendship. When a hosting begins, they help everyone get connected, build relationships with both the parent and Host Family.
Throughout the hosting, Family Coaches regularly check in with parents, encouraging them as they work toward goals like securing housing, finding childcare, or pursuing employment. They also support Host Families, helping ensure everyone has what they need and feels cared for along the way.
One of the most rewarding parts of the role is celebrating progress. As families move toward reuniting with their kids, Family Coaches help prepare and encourage everyone involved. And sometimes, the relationship continues after the hosting ends, creating lasting connections that remind families they don't have to walk through life alone.
Family Coach Spotlight
When an expectant mom we'll call Tasha reached out to the Support Line looking for a hosting, Family Coach Taylor was ready to walk alongside her. She helped gather supplies, gifted her a Bible, shared Scripture, and checked in regularly to make sure Tasha knew someone cared.
As Tasha prepared to welcome her baby, Taylor became more than just someone who could help with practical needs. She was a steady source of encouragement during a challenging time, listening and reminding Tasha that she wasn't alone. That's what being a Family Coach means: showing up for parents, building real relationships, and helping them feel supported every step of the way.
“What an honor to help and to make a new friend—and grow in our dependence on Christ!"
Taylor, Family Coach
