IRS990/Desc0WriterCoach pivoted from an in-person to online program in six weeks. Additionally, we trained all staff and volunteers to use Zoom and Google Docs interactively with the students we coached. We launched a new program called Writers Cafe which was a free writing program open to all students in the country seeking writing support. WriterCoach Connection attempted to bridge the isolation students were feeling and added two new sites to our existing programs in Alameda and West Contra Costa County.

IRS990/ProgSrvcAccomActy2Grp/Desc0Our coaches were trained on how to meet students where they are; without video, using chat only, because we clearly understood that students were isolated and traumatized during the pandemic. We were able to coach critical thinking and clear writing skills for over 600 students while online continuing to make strong connections with the students we coached. We also automated our assessment methodology enabling us to measure improvements in student writing and thinking skills in a more timely way. Finally, we continued to grow our board of directors with skilled and committed members. Our board is now more than 50% BIPOC.
