The Team
It goes without question that every successful person in history had a support system consisting of some mentor or coach who inspired, guided, and gave honest feedback. At Milestone, creating habits for a more purpose-filled life is central to our approach. We focus on guiding participants in character development that prioritizes universal laws and principled, centered ways of being.
Through collaboration with our young adults and their team, we identify and implement strategies for healthy living. Milestone coaches (College, Career & Readiness Coach, Clinical Coach, Executive Functioning Coach, and more) work closely with participants to establish balanced routines of various activities that support the emotional, physical, and social parts of our young adult lives. Our young adult team will be your biggest cheerleaders and become lifelong friends.
