Writing and Math Partners (WAMP)

WAMP is EJP’s tutoring program. Several times a week, Writing and Math Partners from campus and the community attend WAMP sessions at Danville Correctional Center, replicating the structure and energy of office hours or study hall. Attendance at WAMP sessions generally ranges from 15 – 40 students, all working on various forms of scholarship. WAMP members mostly provide math and writing support, hence the name, but they tend to be curious about the diverse subjects that EJP students are studying and so lend lateral support and foster peer-learning.

WAMP sessions have most recently been held on Mondays from 5 – 8pm and Fridays from 5 – 8pm. We hope to add more sessions in the future.

The WAMP co-coordinator is Tess Saxton-Fox. You can reach her at WAMP@educationjustice.net.
