The students indicated the following insights and observations:

16

• Felt that the program coaches engaged them in a very accepting and non-

judgmental manner.

• Were intrigued with and excited about the fact that other adults would actually

be interested in getting to know students with challenging life stories.

• Liked the idea that the coach was there to accept them for who they really are

and learn about their real life story as a way to help understand “what might be” and to normalize the challenges they might be experiencing.

• Liked the process of focusing on strengths or what positive quality they could

build upon as a starting point.

• Felt the AOC program kept its promises and provided the support needed to

take the risks to connect with the session facilitator and volunteer coaches.
