Looking for an opportunity to volunteer at BHS?  WriterCoach Connection 
(WCC) is a rewarding experience working one-on-one ​in the classroom 
with students at every level of writing ability ​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 ​and the ​9th 
graders in ​AHA. Our coaching sessions are on Wednesdays during Periods 
1, 2, 4, & 5 and Thursdays during Periods 1 & 2.

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.

Sign up now for ​December, January or February Trainings. For the 
complete training schedule, register for a training, register to 
volunteer or for more information, go to _www.writercoachconnection.org
