How to get volunteers to build up my ICF hours

I’m currently training as a coach and working toward completing the coaching hours required for my ICF certification.

I’d love to connect with people who are completely new to coaching so they can experience it for the first time while I continue developing my skills.

For those of you who have been through this process, how did you find volunteer clients? Which platforms, communities, or approaches worked best for you?

I’m especially interested in hearing from people who were able to connect with volunteers outside their immediate network.

Looking for Volunteers ( ICF hours)

Hi everyone,

I’m currently training as a professional coach and working toward my ICF coaching certification. I’m looking for a few volunteers to build up my required hours.

I’m especially interested in practicing with people who are new to coaching.
If you’ve ever wondered what coaching is like, this could be a great opportunity to experience it in a relaxed, no-pressure setting.

You might enjoy coaching if you’re:
\-Going through a personal or professional transition.
\-Feeling stuck or unsure about your next step.
\-Trying to build healthier habits or create lasting change.
\-Facing a decision that feels important.
\-Simply looking for more clarity, confidence, or intention in your life.

My role isn’t to give advice or tell you what to do. Instead, think of me as a thinking partner—someone who creates a safe, nonjudgmental space for you to reflect, explore what matters most, and discover your own answers.

The sessions are completely free. In return, I’m simply hoping to gain experience, complete my coaching hours, and receive your honest feedback so I can continue learning and growing.

I’m based in the U.S. (Central Time) and offer coaching in both **English and French**. I’m happy to connect with people in all over the world if our schedules align.

If this resonates with you—or if you’re simply curious to experience coaching—I’d love to hear from you. Feel free to send me a message or leave a comment. I’d be grateful for the opportunity to connect.
