As WCC writing coaches, Cal Students gain hands-on experience working in diverse public school classes while helping teens develop crucial thinking and writing skills. Middle and high school students are especially fond of their college coaches who quickly become role models and mentors. Coaches commit to a regular, 1-2 hour per week assignment and meet weekly, 2-4 times per month, during the school day, to work one-on-one with students in their English classes at local schools such as Berkeley High School and Willard Middle School. We are currently recruiting coaches for Fall 2015. WCC makes it easy to volunteer by providing a condensed three-hour training for Cal students. Our trainings provide step-by-step strategies to help students develop writing and thinking skills so you don't need to be a writer or English major to become a coach. You may register for one of the trainings at: http://www.writercoachconnection.org/college-volunteer-registration.html <http://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?f=001LiNMSKRf_va6d1J4Hqt3QNXphTH5NkYU02AdhND9bSlz1J3LLvERFusqeeqqF_HOWDN8RuBIJaDNhuMHPeZ5S0fnnizevouymRGK6kqrFxV9i53Ltogm7HtfHgeUPPtcA1W2cz-ka5ywTjBBBta9Wvtu4VcmHPbx-iD5A8g2BNjPC4d0bAIKyW_fq8pt7M-1OHcnwfg4skL7gWoMAPGpxIXtE-bii6zeZ91vKFvaKc86wGyr4kdlg51ZpYqC4Ae_lbjQzPFhxWkHVjQGFB2SRrBGIjijeDhdpTXI6rJuWfujBm2SzRDXXk_QTrHtyWTwMwDBdJKI4gpj5Gr1MfVfTKwJ-VCK2dsklZTxiEQySPajGg4RnZPJLdnMfnHOmZSl25xUMErD1SYQEyg6BBp8zfSgIk0iWukq&c=6npTD--U1_1i2smdkNUC_JVMPXzquwj7mEbHoqQgqKfgssuC6Jyw3w==&ch=VwSObXRTOMvr08n9h0hPHY8IRTfyQihLOiMJvCQMmI1-DL9brKHR3w==> .
