Do you support educational equity? Are you available at least one hour each week to mentor and tutor a younger student in the community? Now is the time to become a volunteer tutor for YTP!
The Youth Tutoring Program needs dedicated volunteers like YOU to be mentors and tutors for students living in West Seattle’s low and mixed income housing community, High Point. This is a great way to deeply impact others and spread your gifts this holiday season!
YTP serves a diverse group of students, many who come from immigrant and refugee families. We match tutors and students 1:1 to foster the best mentoring and tutoring relationships. We focus on skill building so that our students can catch-up and get ahead in school.
We accept tutors all year long!
There is no tutoring experience necessary to be an impactful volunteer! Not only do we train our volunteers to be effective tutors, we provide our volunteers with the tools they need (such as individualized tutor plans and skill-building activities) to make a difference!
The minimum age for volunteering is 14, and High School students are encouraged to volunteer!
Our High Point tutoring center is located at 6400 Sylvan Way SW (Room 214)
Seattle, WA 98126. Our tutoring sessions are Monday thru Thursday at 4:20-5:20PM, 5:30-6:30PM, and 6:40-7:40PM. We are in especially high need of tutors on Tuesday/Thursday afternoons at 4:20PM!To learn more about our program or to get started as a volunteer, please visit http://www.ccsww.org/ytp and click on “Volunteer Now.”

Passing along this information about Mayor-elect Durkan and her first actions upon being sworn in on Tuesday. This is a great opportunity for those who want to help. If you can’t make any of these times, there will be others.
Also note that I will be passing on more opportunities to get involved after our second transition team meeting, which will be Monday from 4-6 PM

Mayor-Elect Jenny Durkan Will Bring City Hall into Communities Across Seattle on First Day
At Five Events, Durkan Will Call on Residents to Come Together to Address Urgent Challenges Facing Our CityOn Tuesday, November 28, Mayor-elect Jenny Durkan will criss-cross Seattle to take City Hall directly into communities across Seattle. Durkan will take her oath of office and share her vision for the City at events in Rainier Beach, West Seattle, the Chinatown-International District, Phinney Ridge, and Lake City.
“Throughout the campaign, I emphasized we must tackle our challenges and seize opportunities as One City. Starting on my first day in office, I want everyone to be a part of creating meaningful change for our City. It will take all of us working together to build a progressive, innovative and inclusive city for the next generation. I know we are up to not just meeting our toughest challenges like homelessness and housing, but to build and create the opportunities that will continue to make Seattle the great City we love,” said Durkan.

Sometimes I think we’re just hearing from inside the box. I am curious what everyday people think about solutions, in or out of the box for solutions. Disclosure: I volunteered for the “failed” attempt to bring a monorail to West Seattle. I was raised in Japan where monorails are common and it was a bit hard to see people dismiss them as “toys”.
What do you think? (No laughing at any reasonable ideas :-)
I know for one thing, I don’t want this (Yesterday in LA 11/22/17):
P.S. Happy Thanksgiving

I wasn’t sure where to post this, but I wanted to share my feelings, my rage and disgust, with what’s going on in this once-great nation. How do you, my West Seattle neighbors, feel? What are you doing about all this?
1. The House passes the tRump Tax Scam, a cruel, illogical plan that will NOT benefit the middle class, only the very rich.
Increases the deficit by almost $2 TRILLION.
Immediately cuts Medicare by $25 billion.
Sets up future trillion dollar cuts to Medicare, Medicaid, and Social Security to pay for the tax cuts and fix the deficit.
Ends the medical expense deduction – hurting at least 4.5 million people with incomes less than $75,000.
Increases taxes for 47% of families with children.
2. The massive Keystone oil leak. I hate to say “told ya so!” because this is truly a disaster that could have been prevented if the government had put people (and the environment) over pollution and profiteers.
3. Trump lifts ban on “trophy” elephant imports. Remember his darling sons murdered endangered species in Africa? How “manly”! Well, I guess Trump likes trophies; after all, he has a trophy wife (who is getting near her sell-by date by trump’s standards and who, sadly, has the dead eyes of a blow-up doll).
Yes, I have made calls, signed petitions, and sent emails. We all have to keep up the pressure. I am proud to have Jayapal, Murray, and Cantwell represent me, but we can’t just sit back and let them do the heavy lifting.Here We Grow Again!
