Benefits of Joining an ICF Chapter

Your coaching journey is one of lifelong learning and growth. ICF chapters provide a number of professional development opportunities that help you advance along your journey. By getting involved with your local chapter, you automatically gain a support network of peers who understand your local market, challenges, and opportunities.

Learning

Are you interested in getting your ICF credential? Building your business? Curious about emerging technologies and tools? Chances are that your local chapter provides resources, workshops, seminars, and training sessions on these topics and more. And best of all? You’re not alone. You can dive deep with colleagues — learning, sharing, and growing together to remain current in the profession.

Networking

Get ready to make meaningful connections and elevate your visibility in the professional community. ICF chapters offer a supportive network of professionals who want you to succeed. You can network with fellow coaches to create collaborative partnerships and develop strategic methods for learning and growing. Plus, never underestimate the power of in-person, face-to-face interactions.

Giving Back through Your Chapter Is Giving Forward

Giving back is an investment in creating a future where people and societies thrive. Many chapters offer the opportunity for you to make a lasting impact in your community by sponsoring and developing their own pro bono projects.

ICF chapters also participate in the ICF Foundation’s Ignite Initiative. Ignite leverages the collective power of ICF chapters, members, and credential-holders to accelerate positive impact on humanity and the planet. Each Ignite project empowers meaningful social impact through coaching engagements with leaders, employees, and beneficiaries of organizations supporting the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals.
