CoolCoach

CoolCoach was born with the idea of creating a vocational training program in fitness for youth from underprivileged families. CoolCoach believes that a career as a fitness trainer is lucrative and with low(er) barriers to entry. It provides a fantastic opportunity for motivated youth to be quickly skilled and gainfully employed. After months of research and running small pilots, the CoolCoach team has arrived on a training model that looks very similar to the Teach For India Fellowship. CoolCoach will select youth who have an interest in fitness/sports from under-resourced communities, train them in Physical Education (PE) and then place them as PE teachers in resource-constrained schools. Once the trainees are done with their training, CoolCoach will help place them in the growing fitness industry in India where they would continue to work on Making India Fit. Not only is CoolCoach creating an alternative career track for unemployed youth but it is also making children healthier in under-resourced schools in our country.
