Looking for an opportunity to volunteer at BHS? WriterCoach Connection 
(WCC) is a rewarding experience working one-on-one with students at 
every level of writing ability in the classroom

on their writing assignments. In partnership with teachers, trained 
writer coaches help students strengthen their writing and thinking 
skills by giving them constructive feedback, challenging them to think 
more deeply, and building their confidence as writers. The time 
commitment is only 1-2 hours, usually twice per month, during the school 
day. This year we're coaching 9th and 10th graders in AMPS; 9th graders 
in CAS.....and new this year, 10th graders in AHA.

Coaching is fun and rewarding --- "The highlight of my week," says one 
coach.

You don't need to be a writer or teacher --- WCC coaches are parents, 
college students, working and retired people of all backgrounds, 
ethnicities, and ages. Our in-depth training will give you strategies 
and practice to work effectively with students, including your own. If 
you are unable to coach right now, please tell a friend or neighbor who 
might be interested.
