Featured in Project: CommUNITY News TV Spotlight


Pennsylvania, USA — Community Life Coach Carol Green was featured in a special television news spot about a local Emergency Shelter that is working on a new facility that will be a one-stop shop for services. The nonprofit organization is renovating the former Unitarian Church on Market Street in Harrisburg, into what it calls a Community Connection Center for Allison Hill.

It means a lot to Carol Green, who grew up in the neighborhood with a single mother.

"There was no one in the community that came alongside and walked us through," she said.

On Tuesday, Shalom House officials gave the secretary of the Pennsylvania Department of Human Services a tour, showing off what will be the Capital Area Head Start Program and a transitional living area.

For Green, it's not just about the services that will be offered. It's more about how it makes the family feel.

"You're not just a number. You're not just another person who does not have," Green said.

Officials with Shalom House said the cost to purchase and renovate the building will be about $2 million. About half that amount has been raised so far.

Carol and Chris Green have been partnering with Shalom House since the fall of 2015, providing staff and life coaching support and training that will continue in the new facility.

Community CARE Coach, Carol Green Speaks to WGAL Reporter

As affiliate members and International Statesmen with iChange Nations™, Chris and Carol Green have partnered with United Graduate College and Seminary International to offer an accelerated, ministry-accredited life coaching certification program. Their collaborative purpose and mission has been, to offer leaders, working in under-served communities, high-quality tools that empower and equip them to be more effective in their humanitarian efforts.

As the world's leading producers of CARE-Ready™ Life Coaches, Chris and Carol Green teach and train community, government and education leaders, human service organizers, business visionaries, and neighborhood dreamers how to be much more effective by embracing the principles of CARE (Compassionate Accountability with Respect and Empathy) in their professional and personal lives. They LISTEN to people, LIFT people and LAUNCH people. Then they equip and empower them to do the same for others.

Many coaching, mentoring and community outreach programs employ what is known as a "deficit model" of working with people. That's where you focus on the problems (deficits) of a person, and then apply a set of pre-determined, cookie cutter steps and treatments to address their issues. The deficit-based model is what many well-meaning Helpers use, but it rarely works long-term, leaving Helpers wondering why their clients fail to break the cycles of addiction and recidivism.

However, CARE-Ready™ Coaching mirrors the principles found in the proven, Best Practice strategies of Strength-based, Solution-focused models. CARE-Ready™ coaches are trained to connect with people in order to build a relationship/ partnership that empowers the client; thus allowing the client to discover the solutions that will work best for them.

Also, while many coaching programs focus on how to target potential high-paying affluent clients, and high-paying speaking opportunities, the Greens train, equip and empower Care-Ready™ Responders and Coaches, who are willing to take on the most often overlooked people of society; those who live in under-served communities, who can least afford, but benefit the most from professional guidance.
