Your contribution helps YTP provide structured after-school tutoring and mentoring and summer learning to over 450 low-income Seattle area students each year!


The mission of Catholic Community Services' Youth Tutoring Program (YTP) is to tutor, guide and inspire at-risk youth to achieve academic success. YTP thrives on the commitment and generosity of over 500 tutors each year, and vital donors like you! For more information about YTP please visit ccsww.org/ytp.

Gifts may also be made by personal check, cashier's check or money order. Please direct your gifts to: Catholic Community Services | Attn: Youth Tutoring Program | 100 23rd Ave. S | Seattle, WA 98144
 

I am among the several hundred volunteer tutors with the Youth Tutoring Program (YTP). This great program helps first- through twelfth-grade students in Seattle area low-income housing communities, most from immigrant families, reach their dreams. Students increase their grades, stay motivated, and complete high school with plans for college and a promising future.

This October, YTP is holding its Readathon Fund Drive. During this drive, students compete in fun reading events while YTP supporters raise funds to help the program thrive. Please support me in my efforts to help YTP by making a contribution to the Readathon!

We tutors are "free"--but the staff people to develop skills packets, train us, schedule us, pair us with appropriate students, and guide us are not free. Nor are the office supplies or the snacks for the kids. YTP does a lot with a lean budget. Your donation--whether it's $10 or $100--will be used well.

YTP's two big fundraising events each year are the Readathon in the fall and the Dream Big breakfast in the spring. If you'd like to join me at the breakfast, I'm always looking for nice folks for my table.
