The time to act is now! Volunteer and tutor students from immigrant and refugee families across Seattle this summer!
The Youth Tutoring Program is hosting an educational and fun-filled summer academic enrichment program for elementary and middle school students living in six of Seattle’s low-income housing communities. Of the students we serve, 99% 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 8th-August 15th.
We are recruiting Summer Program Volunteers for afternoon and early evening volunteer positions at 5 of our tutoring centers this summer. These centers are open Monday through Thursday with a few exceptions.
One of these centers is in Rainier Beach! Below are the times of our Lake Washington Apartments Tutoring Center's summer schedule:
Lake Washington Apartments (Rainier Beach) Monday and Wednesdays 12-1:30PM & 1:40-3:10PM and Arts/Science on Tuesdays 1-3PM
Summer tutors help facilitate small groups in reading, math games, and science enrichment activities. No experience is necessary to be a tutor, we give you all the tools you need to be successful!
We ask tutors to commit to 1.5 hour per week but you are welcome to volunteer for 3 hours (both sessions) for a day or multiple days throughout the week. We require all volunteers to be over 14 years of age.
Learn how you can volunteer with YTP by going to http://www.ccsww.org/ytp. For questions and more information, please contact us at VolunteerYTP@ccsww.org or 206-328-5659. Join us!
