What is the Cru Coaching Center?
The Cru Middle & High School Coaching Center is a group of Cru staff members who are passionate about equipping volunteers to reach their local schools with the Gospel. Cru coaches can guide you through the process of establishing a Cru at your local school. We will walk with you through each step and are available to answer any questions or concerns you may have. As a Coaching Center team, we have years of ministry experience that we would love to share with you and we look forward to learning from you as well. Best of all, working with a coach in the coaching center is free!
What will happen if I sign up for a coach?
First, you will be contacted by a Cru Coaching Center team member who can give you more information and answer any questions you may have. If you decide that you’d like to move forward with starting a Cru movement, a coach will set up a time to meet with you via phone call, zoom or FaceTime. Coaching calls can be weekly, bi-weekly, or monthly – whatever you feel will be most helpful. The length of a call is usually 20-30 minutes. On the call, a coach will ask how things are going, talk through any challenges you might be having, brainstorm ideas for upcoming events and pray for you.

What have others said about their experience with a coach?
“I couldn’t do this without the help of Cru. I am seeing students empowered to lead. They take their friends through the Cru studies and even share the gospel with them. My coach provides encouragement, resources and prayer for me each week!”
Brent, VA
“From the time I started teaching public high school, my prayer was to have an impact on students’ lives in eternal ways… It felt lonely to be the only adult who had a burden of prayer for every detail of this growing group of teenagers and their impact on their high school…One thing I didn’t realize I could have access to was coaching through Cru…Scott was able to be “in it” with me from afar. His prayer over my school and my walk with God has been invaluable these last few years.”
Jamie, IL
