Resource Coaching
Our resource coaches at Montgomery County Community College are your personal support partner—someone who’s here to help you navigate life both inside and outside the classroom. Their main goal is to connect you with resources that support your academic success and overall well-being.
Student Resource Coaches work with you one-on-one to understand your unique challenges and goals. Whether you’re facing financial stress, need help with food, housing, or transportation, or just want to learn about wellness programs, your coach is here to guide you—judgment-free.
Public Benefits Navigation
Free public benefit screening and application assistance with the help of our parents at the Visiting Nurse Association. Applying for public benefits like SNAP (food assistance), Medicaid (health insurance), or housing support can feel overwhelming—but you don’t have to do it alone. At Montco, we offer Public Benefits Enrollment Support to help you figure out what you’re eligible for and guide you through the application process.
