High School Math Tutoring Coordinator

Grinnell College•Grinnell, IA

16h•Onsite

About The Position

The Service Leadership Work Study Program (SLWS) is a community engagement program that provides students with an on-campus employment opportunity where they work with local community organizations. By working closely with local community organizations, students in the program get a sustained opportunity to engage with local issues while also interacting with a broad range of community members. The program also provides a peer learning community that supplements the work done by the students at their various work-sites and that provides opportunities for shared learning and collaboration. The positions in the program, which fall under the Student Union contract and pay the standard campus wage, can also fulfill federal work-study requirements. This position, which is for 4-6 hours per week, will support a math tutoring program at Grinnell-Newburg High School. The student in this SLWS position will help coordinate a math tutoring program at Grinnell-Newburg High School, which will include volunteering as a tutor where possible + doing outreach to identify other students to help as tutors. The tutoring sessions largely take place on Friday mornings, so any applications for the position will need to be available then. The Math Tutor Coordinator will help do outreach to encourage students to volunteer as tutors, will check in to make sure volunteers are getting the support they need, and will help coordinate transport where necessary.
