Youth Tutor Program
The Youth Tutoring Program (YTP), a program of Catholic Community Services,
is an innovative and successful after-school educational enrichment program for
vulnerable first through twelfth grade students who live in six low- and
mixed-income housing communities in Seattle.
At the tutoring centers, students build skills in reading and math, get help
with homework, and strengthen their sense of self-esteem and self-respect.
Coming primarily from immigrant and refugee families, YTP students are wonderfully
diverse, representing many nationalities, cultures, languages and religions.
Unique among tutoring programs in Seattle, YTP provides large scale, one-to-one
and group tutoring. Centers are open in the late afternoon and early evening hours.
