This year was a year of rebuilding for Community Alliance for Learning DBA WriterCoach Connection. We served 791 middle and high school students in Contra Costa and Alameda Counties with coaching in critical thinking and writing programs in public schools. The programs are geared toward improving students quality and effectiveness in written communication as well as researching, analyzing and drawing conclusions so they are able to communicate their opinions with thoughtfulness and conviction. 187 trained volunteer coaches worked in primarily a 1:2 ratio with the students providing individualized attention that educators know makes a huge difference in building skills as well as affording an adult mentorship relationship. Our impact results this year showed that 70% of students improved or dramatically improved their writing and critical thinking abilities. Our coaches provided 2,548 hours of coaching to these students, who are predominantly from communities that have had limited access to additional school enrichment programs. We also successfully completed an after school program providing coaching on creative writing projects for 31 students in partnership with the Oakland Boys and Girls Club Organization.
