Thank you for your interest in applying to be an RJUC Coach. Please complete the steps below and then click the link at the bottom to begin your application.

Ask former clients to submit referrals: Please send a message like the following to former clients. We recommend contacting as many former clients as possible to reach three referrals as quickly as possible. If you receive more than three, that's great. You can enter them as well.

I am applying to be a part of the RJUC Coaching Network. The RJUC requires referrals by former clients as a part of the application process. Would you be willing to submit a brief referral for me? If so, please use the form at rjuc.org/refer. If not, no problem. Please let me know so I can ask someone else. Thanks!

Confirm you have at least three referrals: When the client submits the form at rjuc.org/refer, you will be emailed a copy of their submission. Please note, you will need to receive at least three referrals before starting the application.

Gather the following information: You will enter the following information on the form. If you are invited to be a coach, these items will be posted on your profile page (you can make edits later).

  • Work experience: Past and present employers and your role (if related to your work as a coach)
  • Education: Past and present higher education experience
  • Resources: If you like, you can enter any resources (articles, papers, books, videos, etc.) you created or participated in related to racial dynamics.

Gather photo: You will need to upload a headshot you would like displayed on your coach profile (viewable by the public). The image should be square, a minimum of 600x600 pixels, and a JPG or PNG file type. You can crop your image to a square using an online tool like croppola.com. Here is a brief video that shows the steps. The photo should contain you (alone) in the center. Here is an example photo.

Write a summary of your experience: You will be asked to enter a response of up to 1000 characters to the prompt, "Describe your experience and training regarding coaching individuals and organizations in the area of racial dynamics." It is best to write the summary in a word processor with spelling and grammar checks and then paste your response into the application.

APPLICATION MUST BE COMPLETED AT ONE TIME: You will not be able to start your application and return and finish it later. That is why we encourage you to gather the above items before you start the application.
