In Person (Boerum Hill) Literacy Tutor, Summer 2024

READ 718 is looking for volunteer literacy tutors for our in-person After School Program this Summer (July 8th- August 15th). Volunteers must attend an orientation and one training session. They must be willing to undergo a background check.

READ 718 is a non-profit literacy center that provides after school tutoring and literacy workshops to low-income students in grades 3-8. We are looking for dedicated, reliable, caring, positive people who are committed to working with a child twice a week for 6 weeks (July 8th- August 15th) excluding national holidays. Tutors will be provided with easy-to-follow lesson plans for each session, and will have access to reading specialists for questions and guidance.

Children who are behind in reading after grade 3 and do not receive the targeted instruction that they need simply fall further and further behind. READ 718 aims to provide students with high quality, supplementary instruction to bridge the gap between students who are struggling and their grade level peers.
