Now that we have settled in to our new home at the Village, Spells Writing Lab is actively seeking educators, college students, writers, creative storytellers (such as comedians, filmmakers, musicians, and illustrators), and other volunteers who share our vision of getting kids excited about writing. We’re specifically looking for volunteers in the following areas:

  • Tutoring on Monday, Wednesday, and/or Sunday afternoons. Our drop-in tutoring sessions will begin on Wednesday, February 18 and will run from 4–6 p.m. during the week and from 1–3 p.m. on Sundays.
  • Leading writing workshops on Tuesday, Thursday, and/or Saturday afternoons. Our workshop series generally run for 4 to 6 sessions on the same day every week.
  • Grant writing to help us raise the funds we need to keep our programs going.

Beginning in March, we will be hosting monthly Volunteer Orientations. Attendance at one of these orientations will be mandatory for anyone interested in running future workshops or tutoring. This brief session will help familiarize you with Spells, our mission, and the the format of our workshops and tutoring sessions. It will also be a great opportunity to meet other Spells volunteers! An official schedule will be coming soon.
