True Change is a coaching-based personal and career development organization serving young people navigating life transitions.

We create workshops, digital resources, and partner training tools that help emerging leaders build confidence, life skills, and direction for the future. Our content is accessible online, through in-person sessions, and in collaboration with schools, nonprofits, and workforce initiatives.

The Elevate Your Path student portal includes interactive modules like Career Compass, while our group coaching model creates space for growth, conversation, and practical steps forward. We also train organizations to implement these tools in their own communities, expanding impact through aligned partners across the country.

Our Vision and Mission

We support young people who are ready to grow, lead, and move forward as they discover who they are, what they’re capable of, and how to turn that into action.

We focus on personal development and career readiness while equipping workforce partners, community mentors, and peer leaders to create spaces where growth feels possible and support feels real.

How It Started

True Change was founded by Kam Phillips, a former finance professional who stepped away from corporate life to walk alongside young people navigating life transitions. What started as a workshop series in Metro Atlanta has grown into a multi-state initiative serving youth through personal development, career exposure, and trusted group coaching.

The work began after seeing too many young people with potential but no roadmap. Many lacked exposure to real opportunities, consistent guidance, or someone in their corner to help them connect who they are to where they could go. Today, True Change supports students, interns, and young adults ages 15 to 21 through in-person workshops, a digital learning platform, and partner-led programming. Our team also equips mentors, coaches, and workforce leaders with the tools to build trust, foster growth, and help others take meaningful steps forward.
