Job description

Overview

Ohio's students need you - come join our cause and help students develop into life-long learners! Be one of 100 change-makers! The Ohio Reading Corps (ORC) is seeking service-minded individuals who want to make a difference in their local community by serving as a tutor and role model for young students. Our program is aimed at improving reading and math skills of K-5th grade students who are below proficient for their grade, giving them better chances of long-term success. The goal of the program is to have children reach proficient reading and math levels by providing one-on-one and small-group instruction targeting their specific needs as determined by data and teacher recommendation. Members will acquire a set of instructional strategies through training with their other team members, and then will be assigned to a classroom building where they will be able to work directly with children and apply those strategies. Ohio Reading Corps will engage AmeriCorps members in Columbus, Cleveland, Dayton, and Youngstown (and surrounding areas) to provide reading and math instruction to children who are at-risk of failing to meet grade-level requirements. Each year, AmeriCorps provides funding to projects aimed at increasing academic achievement. However, the goals of AmeriCorps expand far beyond academics and include expanding economic opportunity and strengthening communities through civic engagement. Each AmeriCorps member is required to participate in professional development training throughout their service. In addition, members must participate in National Days of Service by volunteering in the community. Members will not engage in Prohibited Activities, as described in the Terms and Conditions, and in the member Service Agreement.

Member Duties

Our Members will make a difference in their local community by creating more confident students while serving as a tutor and role model.
AmeriCorps Members will build strong students in Ohio by providing supplemental reading or math support to children in grades K - 5 who are below proficient for their grade level.
Members will learn multiple intervention strategies as well as how to administer assessments.
Members will also receive ongoing Member Development in the form of training, orientations, meetings, etc.
Finally, Members will participate in service projects to further benefit the community in which they serve.
