Guide your career
A Coaching Program for All YMCA Staff
An initiative from the YMCA of Middle Tennessee’s Employee Resource Groups (ERGs), Trailblazers is a structured professional coaching program that is focused on developing the next generation of Y leaders. Through nine months of one-on-one professional coaching, program participants will work towards their career goals and prepare for their future at the Y.
How am I matched?
The questions on the application will be used to match Guides and Trailblazers based on demography, departments, positions, and interests within the organization. ERG Leaders will check-in with Guides and Trailblazers during the third and sixth months to ensure that the coaching relationship is progressing well. Guides meet with Trailblazers once a month for nine months.
What is the time commitment?
Guides meet with Trailblazers once a month for nine months.
