What is Call Coach?

Making calls to housing programs, employers, probation offices, and benefits agencies is one of the hardest parts of reentry. Call Coach helps you practice before you make the real call — so you know what to say, what to have ready, and what to expect.

You can practice out loud using your microphone, or type your answers if you prefer. Call Coach plays the role of the person on the other end of the phone.

Call Coach is practice and preparation only. For supervision conditions, legal status, benefit eligibility, or medical decisions, the official answer always comes from the agency or officer — not from this tool.
