SERVE AS A LITERACY TUTOR WITH READING PARTNERS!

Major(s): Education, English, Psychology, Health Sciences, All majors - Reading Partners

Reading Partners Program Model:
Reading Partners is a local nonprofit organization that works to expand life opportunities for elementary school children in low-income communities by empowering them with strong literacy skills. At each of its school sites, Reading Partners transforms a dedicated space within the school into a reading center and recruits and trains community volunteers to work one-on-one with students.

Tutors work with Reading Partners' structured and easy-to-follow literacy curriculum, with the training, support, and coaching of an on-site Reading Partners staff member.
By working one-on-one, we can target students' specific learning gaps at their pace and with their learning style. With that individual attention and the safety of that relationship, students' confidence and ability can grow exponentially.
Teachers communicate with Reading Partners' Site Coordinators to ensure that their struggling students are getting the intensive one-on-one support they need and cannot receive in a full classroom.

How can you intern with us?

Choose your preferred school site: we work in 19 schools across New York City, with programming running Monday-Friday, between 9 AM to 5 PM (times vary by school).
You will get matched with one or more students, for whom you will serve as tutor, mentor and friend!
Interns hours are determined by program manager and intern availability.
Interns are required to interview with a staff member and sign an Internship Expectations document.

Goals:
We want every child to experience the joy and power of becoming a lifelong reader, to improve the literacy rates of students who are one month to 2.5 years behind on their reading level. We hope this is an opportunity for interns to network, acquire insight from a range of Reading Partner's staff and develop a deeper interest and understanding of the importance of education and literacy.
