About The Position

Blueprint Schools Network is hiring an AmeriCorps Math Fellow to deliver intensive, daily small-group math instruction to students during the school day for one academic school year. Fellows help students strengthen foundational math skills, build academic confidence, and make progress toward their potential, particularly in historically under-resourced communities.

Fellows receive structured onboarding, daily planning time, regular one-on-one instructional coaching, collaborative lesson planning, and up to 72 hours of professional development and growth. The role offers practical experience and development of skills relevant to teaching and other education or mission-driven careers. Blueprint also connects Fellows with partner organizations and pathways into teaching, teacher certification, and graduate study.

AmeriCorps service provides a bi-weekly living allowance rather than a salary or hourly wage. For the 2026–2027 school year, the Oakland living stipend band for schedules of six or more school-day hours is $26,500 to $31,000. Eligible members in good standing may also receive an end-of-term living allowance balance based on their service slot and earn a Segal AmeriCorps Education Award after successful completion. Full-time members receive individual medical, dental, and vision coverage with premiums paid by Blueprint. Other listed supports include possible SNAP eligibility, childcare assistance for eligible full-time members, student-loan forbearance and interest repayment for eligible loans, leave, employee assistance and virtual care services, and pre-tax commuter savings.
