Writing Tutors, West Phila High School Writing Center

The Philadelphia Writing Project Needs Your Help!!

The Philadelphia Writing Project is partnering with Temple University, the University of Pennsylvania and the School District of Philadelphia to operate a Writing Center at West Philadelphia High School, 4800 Walnut St.

We are in need of committed people— who enjoy teenagers, writing and talking about writing—to tutor students in grades 9-11 between the hours of 9 AM and 3 PM. Tutors who are committed to writing and literacy are needed to work a minimum of 3 hours a week, Monday through Friday for a whole semester under the supervision of an appointed Philadelphia teacher and the Philadelphia Wriring Project in September. The Philadelphia Writing Project and Temple University will provide training and on-going professional development.
