The coaches of Level Up Cincinnati

The coaches of Level Up Cincinnati — Support. Mentor. Connect.

Every issue, for the life of the program.

Past issues live here so new coaches can catch up, and old issues stay findable. The archive grows monthly.

Issue 02 arrives June 1. The archive will grow here.

A dispatch for the people closest to the work.

Coaching Compass is written for the coaches who show up, month after month, for a first-generation college student navigating school for the first time.

Level Up Cincinnati pairs every scholar with two coaches over their four-year college journey — a Transition Coach in the early years, and a Career Coach as graduation nears. Compass is how we equip those coaches. One issue a month. Built to be read in ten minutes and used in the next conversation.
