Tutoring and Writing Support
TUTORING:DURING THE SCHOOL YEAR WE OFFER TUTORING MONDAY THROUGH THURSDAY, FOR GRADES 2ND6TH; AND IN THE EVENING, TUESDAY AND THURSDAY, FOR GRADES 7TH TO 12TH. WE SERVED 146 STUDENTS IN OUR TUTORING PROGRAMS.STUDENTS GATHER INTO OUR WRITING LABS AT BOTH 826LA IN MAR VISTA AND 826LA IN ECHO PARK TO WORK ON THEIR HOMEWORK AND READ. ANOTHER MAJOR AREA OF SUPPORT FOR VOLUNTEERS IS IN THE WRITING PROCESS AND HELPING STUDENTS DEVELOP WRITING PIECES FOR CHAPBOOKS PUBLISHED IN TUTORING EACH YEAR. A STUDENT'S CONFIDENCE IS BUILT WHEN THEY SHARE WHAT THEY HAVE WRITTEN, AND PEOPLE LISTEN. SO SEVERAL TIMES A YEAR, OUR YOUNG AUTHORS READ THEIR STORIES TO ENCOURAGING AUDIENCES AT CHAPBOOK RELEASE PARTIES.GeographiesNot indicatedDatesJul 1, 2021 – Jun 30, 2022Source990No causes providedNo populations provided–$582.4KIn-Schools Writers' Room
