Community Support New York

Welcome to Coaches & Coffee – Fort Lee

## Welcome to Coaches & Coffee – Fort Lee **Great coaches don't grow alone.** Whether you're an experienced coach, newly certified, or transitioning into the coaching profession, this is a welcoming space to connect with fellow coaches who understand both the rewards and challenges of this work. Our gatherings are intentionally casual, supportive, and conversation-driven. There are no presentations, no sales pitches, and no pressure to have all the answers. Just authentic conversations over coffee with coaches who are committed to growing personally and professionally. ### What to Expect Every other Saturday, we'll meet for about an hour to: * Connect with fellow coaches in the local community. * Share ideas, experiences, and lessons learned. * Discuss meaningful coaching topics and real-world challenges. * Celebrate wins and support one another through the journey of building a coaching practice. * Build genuine relationships in a relaxed, judgment-free environment. Whether you're looking for fresh perspectives, encouragement, accountability, or simply a community that understands your journey, you'll find a seat at our table. ### What to Bring * Your favorite coffee or beverage ☕ * Curiosity * An open mind * A willingness to learn and share * Business cards are optional—authentic conversation comes first. ### Finding the Group We'll meet at a local coffee shop in **Fort Lee, NJ**. The exact location will be posted before each event.

Helping the homeless to get off the streets this winter

Hello all, https://bowery.volunteerhub.com/vv2/ I was extremely saddened by this weekend's brutal killing of 4 homeless people in lower manhattan. I have contacted the Bowery mission to help and see what we can do as a community to provide food and shelter for the homeless. This is an endless effort. I encourage you all to helpout whenever, and whatever you have to get them off the streets, and to clean up the shelter and talk to the government to get programs incentives to allow landlords to use up their vacant space, even if its a few months for the winter. Many of you do not know that homeless people choose to be outside, because they don't feel safe in shelters. Or because of their illness that they do not want contact with people or helping themselves. Bowery mission helps manhattan folks - with shelter/ food/ clothing. Please help 1 at a time. IF you have other resourses to share or events to share, Please POST! Thanks all. Lisa, Thank you for reaching out. We were also stunned and heartbroken by this horrific attack. I truly admire the work that you do—I think the events of this weekend present a call for all of NYC’s nonprofits that deal with homelessness and its tangential issues to work together and form a unified front, so I am grateful for your interest and passion. I encourage you to check out our volunteer site and please reach out with any questions or if this is not what you are looking for. If you are looking for something more specific, I’m happy to jump on a call. Let me know what makes the most sense. Thank you—hope you had a nice weekend.

Songwriter Circle @ Brooklyn Ethical

**Play and listen to original music!** The Songwriter Circle at Brooklyn Ethical is a monthly gathering dedicated to musical expression and creativity. Everyone from beginners to pros are welcome to share songs in progress, exchange feedback, and jam together! **What to expect?** We'll take turns sharing songs we've written ourselves and discussing the art of music and songwriting from a learner's perspective. Feel free to bring your instrument of choice, but if you just have your singing voice, that's great too. We can also play recordings on our lovely sound system; this is a great option for music that can't easily be performed live. We'll have two rounds of sharing, then a rest break. Then one or two more rounds depending on available time and energy. Drop by any time from 7 to 9 pm! We do have the space until 10 pm so if there are a lot of us, everyone can have a chance to share. RSVP is not necessary but encouraged! **What to share?** * A song you or a friend composed * A song that you have adapted from another song * An interesting/creative cover of a song * Standalone chord progressions or lyrics * Questions or thoughts on the creative process * Requests for help, feedback, jamming, sing-along, etc. **Does it cost anything?** We don't have an attendance fee. We do ask for a $10 donation or whatever you can give to help pay for the space. All proceeds go to our host, the [Brooklyn Society for Ethical Culture](https://bsec.org). **Frequently Asked Questions** **Where is it?** We're hosted by the Brooklyn Society for Ethical Culture. Here is the address: 269 4th Ave (between Garfield Pl and 1st St) Brooklyn, NY We're near these subway stations: * Union St. (D, N, R, W) (2-minute walk) * 4 Av-9 St (F, G) (11-minute walk) * Grand Army Plaza (2, 3, 4) (12-minute walk) **When is it?** We meet on the 3rd Wednesday of every month, from 7 PM to 9 PM/10 PM (ending time varies based on attendance). **Do I *have* to bring a song that I've written?** No, you don't have to :) You're welcome to simply bring your ears if you like! Discussion during turns is encouraged, so you can always use your turn to talk or ask questions about the composition or writing process. **I'm shy...** **My song is bad...** **I just started writing music...** Our hope is to create a comfortable space for performing original music, even if it's terrible :) You will find all levels of skill and composing ability here. It is more important that you practice with us, and not worry about being "perfect"! **I have another question...** Feel free to post your questions as a comment on the main group page or any event page! **See you there!**
