Job description

Overview

3Ohio'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 aims to improve reading and math skills of K-5th grade students who are below proficient, giving them better chances of long-term success. The goal is to have children reach proficient reading and math levels by providing one-on-one and small-group instruction targeted to their specific needs as determined by data and teacher recommendation. Members will acquire instructional strategies through training with their teammates and will be assigned to a classroom where they work directly with children to 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 at-risk students. AmeriCorps funding supports projects aimed at increasing academic achievement and broader civic engagement. Each AmeriCorps member is required to participate in professional development training and 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.
