Serve in Columbia City this Summer: Tutor Students in Low-Income Housing
ORGANIZATION: Youth Tutoring Program
Please visit the new page to apply.
The Youth Tutoring Program is hosting an educational and fun-filled summer academic enrichment program for elementary and middle school students living in Rainier Vista, Columbia City's low-income housing community. 99% of the students we serve are students of color and most come from immigrant or refugee families. Our students come from diverse backgrounds--representing many nationalities, cultures, languages and religions.
Most kids lose at least three months of academic progress over the summer, and it’s our goal to keep that from happening with our students. Help us achieve our goal by volunteering with YTP just once a week for six weeks, from July 9 th-August 16 th.
We are recruiting Summer Program Volunteers for afternoon and early evening volunteer positions at Rainier Vista this summer:

4520 MLK Jr. Way S.
3:00-4:30 (grades K-3) and 4:30-6:00 (grades 4-6)
