Give a student the gift of tutoring this holiday season!

Save to Favorites

Do you support educational equity? Are you available at least one hour each week to mentor and tutor a younger student in the community? Now is the time to become a volunteer tutor for YTP!

The Youth Tutoring Program needs dedicated volunteers like YOU to be mentors and tutors for students living in six low-income housing communities around Seattle. This is a great way to deeply impact others and spread your gifts this holiday season!

YTP serves a diverse group of students, many who come from immigrant and refugee families. We match tutors and students 1:1 to foster the best mentoring and tutoring relationships. We focus on skill building so our students can catch-up and get ahead in school.

We accept tutors all year long!

There is no tutoring experience necessary to be an impactful volunteer! Not only do we train our volunteers to be effective tutors, we provide our volunteers with the tools they need (such as individualized tutor plans and skill-building activities) to make a difference!

Why Volunteer?

-Get service hours

-Gain work experience

-Have fun working with kids

-Network with community members

-Build your college resume

-Make an impact locally
