As we begin recruiting tutors for the 2026–27 academic year, we want to thank all of our supporters for believing in the impact of our one-on-one tutoring program. This year marks our 30th year of serving local students, and we couldn’t have reached this milestone without the many people who have joined us in advancing our mission to support young learners in Seattle Public Schools.

If you plan to return this fall as a tutor and haven’t heard from us be sure to let us know so we can save you a spot. If you’re interested in joining our team of volunteer tutors a good place to start is by reading the general info page for volunteering.
