About EBTThe Enumclaw + Black Diamond Tutoring (EBT) Program is the pilot program for Village Tutors, Inc., a 501(c)(3) organization, whose purpose is to help communities around the globe establish and run community-based tutoring programs that are free to all students in all subjects. The program was conceived by Walt Bennett, Founder and CEO of Village Tutors, Inc., and a group of Enumclaw leaders who desired to support and supplement the district resources with an all-volunteer public tutoring program. Mr. Bennett has a master's degree in education, and has developed the program in support of the Enumclaw School District's existing curriculum, with a particular emphasis on science and math. You may view or print a copy of the community poster, or program brochure (in English or Spanish) from the web site. EBT is designed to support schools and teachers, as well as students. The program is completely community-supported and driven, but partnered with the school district to support what is taught in the classrooms. Volunteer tutors go through background checks, receive training, and are asked to make an eight-week commitment to provide consistency in the program and to build relationships with students. For students already performing well in their current studies, we can help them explore more advanced material to keep them engaged. The tutoring center is set up in a coffee house-style to provide a comfortable learning environment featuring a computer lab, Internet access, black and white and color printing, and free refreshments. For registered students, EBT also offers volunteer a portal from its web site to a virtual campus, available 24/7. As EBT increases its volunteers and resources, the program aims to reach thousands of students in the district. Primary funding and program administration is provided by the Enumclaw Rotary Club. Continued funding relies upon business and individual contributors.
