"What I like most about YTP is interacting with my neighbors! If it weren't for the program, I wouldn't know these kids or parents."--YTP Volunteer
The Youth Tutoring Program, a part of Catholic Community Services, serves elementary, middle school and high school students who live in one of the 6 tutors center communities throughout Seattle. Children come in to their neighborhood center for tutoring twice a week, and build up a relationship with their tutors.
Volunteers support students in building skills in math and reading, homework, and enrichment activities. Our program matches volunteers one-on-one with students to tutor and inspire them to succeed both academically and personally. If you have a passion for education and want to engage with the youth in your community, volunteer as a tutor!
We provide a free 2-hour tutor training and offer continued trainings throughout the year. Details: SCHOOL YEAR M/T/W/Th: 3 sessions from 4:20 to 7:40PM Volunteers sign up for at least 1 hour per week, and are asked to commit to volunteering for at least six months. The minimum age for volunteering is 14, and high school students are encouraged to volunteer!
