Agency Details:

Skyway Tutoring/Rites of Passage

Our mission is to help motivate and guide students, challenging them to improve their academic performances, to help them succeed in their school work, and ultimately, to function more effectively in their lives.

Description:
Our program has two main components: The Skyway Tutoring Center which provides one-on-one or small group tutoring for children in grades K-8, and Rites of Passage, an organization for children and youth of all ages, which focuses on cultural and community awareness, and developing responsibility and leadership skills. We also maintain a computer center, and offer enrichment activities such as art classes, field trips, family movie nights and a free summer carnival for the community.

History:
Our program has been serving the South Seattle/Greater Renton area since 1996. We are a non-sectarian community service project of the United Methodist Church, open to all (students and volunteers) regardless of religious affiliation.
