                                        Thank you to the Oakland Unified School District, Berkeley Unified School District, Albany Unified School District, and the West Contra Costa Unified School District, as well as administrators and faculty members whose involvement makes WriterCoach Connection possible and worthwhile.

                                        We extend our heartfelt thanks to the more than 450 community volunteers who currently donate their time and energy and to the 2,000 volunteers who have contributed thousands of hours during the past ten years as trained WriterCoach Connection coaches. Without them our program would not be possible. In addition, many deeply appreciated volunteers not only give their time as writing coaches but fill other roles in the organization and make financial contributions to CAFL to support WriterCoach Connection.

                                        Together, we are helping to encourage student achievement in our public schools.
