With the school year now well under way and tutoring time approaching, Invest in Youth still needs volunteer tutors at two West Seattle schools. Here’s the announcement sent to us to share with you:

Tutoring is about to start for local educational nonprofit Invest in Youth but they’re still short tutors at Roxhill and Sanislo elementary schools. If you’re looking to make a big difference right here in West Seattle, here’s how!

We have students lined up by their teachers as those who they believe will most benefit from our one-on-one tutoring program, but we still need tutors.

-Roxhill Elementary at E.C. Hughes, Tuesdays 2:40 – 3:40 pm
-Sanislo Elementary, Mondays 2:40 – 3:40 pm

Tutoring starts in October and runs through May 2026. If you can commit to one hour a week and you’re interested in connecting with your local community to narrow achievement gaps for neighborhood students, we want to hear from you!

You’ll meet one day a week with the same student in the classroom with other student-tutor pairs, and work on math and reading fundamentals, all while serving as a mentor to foster lifelong academic success.

No experience is necessary; just a commitment to show up for one hour, one day a week.
