Project Mastery: help students with their writing with this digital volunteering opportunity through Philadelphia Youth Network

Here’s an opportunity for volunteers on-the-go. The Philadelphia Youth Network recently launched Project Mastery, a program in which volunteers help students with their writing all through a digital portal.

Volunteers don’t have to meet with students. Students submit work to their tutors through the portal, and tutors send back comments the same way. That way, says Volunteer Associate Stephanie Strockis, volunteers can work on their own schedule.

Sign up to volunteer here. There’s no deadline since it’s based on six-week sessions. See the schedule below to see the different focus areas.

If you have any questions or want more information, email me Strockis at sstrockis@pyninc.org or call her at 267-502-3787.
