    Description

    Volunteer Writing Coaches Needed at Elmhurst United Middle School

    Join WriterCoach Connection (WCC) and make a difference as a volunteer writing coach!

    WCC brings teams of trained volunteers into East Bay middle schools to provide one-on-one support, helping students develop their writing and critical thinking skills. We're currently recruiting volunteers for King Middle School in Berkeley - and we would love to have you on board.

    As A WriterCoach, You Will:

    • Work one-on-one or with small groups of middle school students
    • Help students build confidence in their writing assignments
    • Meet with students once a week for 10-12 weeks, in person, on campus

    Our comprehensive training provides everything you need to be a great coach. We welcome volunteers from all backgrounds - working professionals, retirees, parents, grandparents, college students, and community members. You only need to be at least 18 or older and eager to make a difference.

    Get Involved Today!

    We are now recruiting and training coaches for Fall 2025 and would love for you to join us.
