The following guidelines apply to all Jack’s Caregiver Coalition’s Jack-to-Jack Program (“Program”) participants and are subject to, and incorporated in, the Program Terms. Jack’s Caregiver Coalition may terminate your participation in the Program if you do not comply with this agreement.
In these guidelines, we sometimes use
- We, us, and our, to refer to Jack’s Caregiver Coalition
- Coachee to refer to the Caregiver or Sequel Maker in the Program
- Coach to refer to each experienced caregiver that serves as a volunteer in the program
- Partners to refer to the Coach and Coachee who connect in the Program
Commitment to the Program
The mission of Jack’s Caregiver Coalition is to improve the way guys think, feel, and act through every phase of their caregiving journey. The Jack-to-Jack Program is central to our mission. Jack’s Caregiver Coalition has created a process that allows the participants to learn about and connect with each other. We make no guarantee that the connections made by the participants will have the results our participants are hoping for, but in our experience total strangers meeting with a shared caregiving experience often have conversations that significantly improve their overall well-being in that role.
For an effective connection and Program experience
- A Coach should have a sincere, bona-fide interest in, and be committed to, providing one-on-one support and encouragement to help an Coachee deal with the challenges he’s facing.
- A Coach commits to responding within 48 hours, to any Coachee that contacts him.
- A Coachee should have a sincere, bona-fide interest in receiving a Coach’s support, and encouragement.
Since everyone’s journey is different, we recommend that the Coach and Coachee decide together how best to communicate with one another and be responsive to each other’s needs and schedules.
Coaches are volunteers and receive no compensation from Jack’s Caregiver Coalition or Coachees for their services. Coachees are each responsible for any costs they incur while participating in the Program, including any costs associated with communication, meals, travel, or activities.
