Do you support educational equity? Do you want to do something meaningful this year? The Youth Tutoring Program needs passionate and dedicated volunteers like you to be mentors and tutors for students living in Rainier Beach’s low and mixed-income housing community, the Lake Washington Apartments.
We are still in high need of tutors this school year!
YTP serves a diverse group of students, 99% of whom are children of color 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.
Not only do we train our volunteers to be effective tutors, we provide our volunteers with tools (such as individualized tutor plans and skill-building activities) so that you have what you need to make a difference!
To hear about our program firsthand from one of our YTP families, check out this short video!
