Coaching and Learning Institute,
Portland, Oregon, also known as CLI Portland, Oregon, is a new organization
dedicated to helping youth through life coaching, mentoring, and
tutoring. The group was started by professional life coach Jacqueline
Raphael, who was inspired by the potential for life coaching to
help teenagers succeed at school and home. CLI works directly with
groups and individual youth in Portland, Oregon, and other locations
to help youth set and achieve goals. The Coaching and Learning Institute
also supports other organizations that provide mentoring and other
services to youth by helping these organizations use life coaching
to meet their unique needs. CLI was recently featured in a nationally-released
article for its work supporting Portland Impact's Youth MAP program
(a youth mentoring program). Jacqueline Raphael was interviewed
regarding her organization's efforts to train and assist mentors
and staff in using innovative and fun techniques with middle school
youth.
Coaching and Learning Institute (CLI) is an organization
of professionally trained life coaches who foster youth success
at school, at home, and in relationships with adults and peers.
We help young people who are facing challenges to make powerful
decisions based on their strengths.
We use positive, developmentally appropriate life
coaching techniques and activities in individual and group settings.
We also train staff and volunteers at existing youth-serving organizations,
including schools, in our approach. We strive to be the best we
can at mentoring youth in Portland Oregon, and beyond. CLI Portland
strives to be a resource for mentor training in Oregon.
Testimonials:
“When I found my otherwise confident teenager struggling
with public speaking, I felt helpless because I, too, suffer from
stage fright. Fortunately, we were referred to Jacqueline Raphael.
She quickly established a rapport with my daughter. By using a combination
of approaches involving discussions, research, and practice, she
gave my daughter the insight needed to overcome her self-consciousness
in front of groups. Above all, she has shown my daughter that it
is much healthier and more productive to examine one’s issues
rather than to avoid or ignore them.”

Parent, speaking about the Coaching and Learning Institute, Portland,

having with school and assisted me in finding a career path I
would like to pursue.”

'It was great working with Jacqueline because it really got me started
on looking for my dream job. She really helped me focus on
my life goals and found great resources for me to use to help me
get really involved."
- J.W., High School Student
“Conquering my fear of public speaking gave me confidence
and the ability to run for class office and win. It was really beneficial
to talk about my problem and work with a coach who could support,
encourage, and push me toward my personal goals.”

“It’s obvious Jacqueline Raphael loves what she does.”
