C-Falls needs writing coaches

Hungry Horse News

Writing Coaches of Montana seeks community members in Flathead County to participate in its coaching program with the mission of helping local students improve their writing skills. Specifically, the program seeks to help students think critically about their writing assignments so they can become confident and competent writers across disciplines.

The program supports many schools in Western Montana, including Columbia Falls, so coaches are needed here.

No experience is necessary because volunteers will learn more about the program and best writing instruction practices while being trained by qualified individuals. To become a volunteer, community members can attend a virtual training on Thursday, Sept. 15, 6-8:45 p.m. Email Writing Coaches Flathead Coordinator Jeanne Wdowin at jeanne@writingcoachesofmontana.org for information, or go to our website: writingcoachesofmontana.org and under ‘News & Events’, go to the public calendar, advance to Sept. 15 and register. WCM staff will be available for follow-up questions at any time.

During the 2022-2023 school year, volunteers will coach in-person at schools and when necessary online using Google Meet. Coaches may choose their preference of in-person or virtual coaching when offered.
