Lifestyle Coach

Empower adults to change their lives! Lifestyle Coaches deliver the National Kidney Foundation of Michigan's Diabetes Prevention Program using curriculum developed by the CDC. Lifestyle Coaches help participants develop and maintain the skills needed to adopt healthy eating and physical activity habits, and support participants by facilitating program content, encouraging progress, and working with the group to address any challenges or barriers that arise.

Lifestyle coaches receive paid training and certification to implement the program and do not need to be health care professionals. Coaches should be able to commit to leading one workshop per year (this includes 16 weekly sessions, and 6-8 follow up monthly sessions). Weekly time commitment is five hours per week. Currently training and program implementation take place through distance learning utilizing Zoom. The training will also prepare you for in person Lifestyle Coaching. We are looking for coaches in Michigan and are especially seeking coaches in Wayne caounty.
