About The Position

Reading Corps is hiring a Reading Tutor to support students at a local school in the San Juan Unified area of Sacramento. Tutors receive training and ongoing coaching to deliver proven reading activities.

They encourage students as they build reading skills and confidence.

The positions are for the final half of the 2026–27 school year, running from January 2027 through June 2027. The schedule is 27.5 hours per week, with fewer hours during weeks with holidays or school release days. Work takes place during daytime school hours, Monday through Friday, with no weekends. Reduced part-time positions of 20 hours per week may also be available. AmeriCorps members have a total service-hour commitment for the program year; most hours are completed at the service site, with occasional approved service or training outside the school day as needed.

AmeriCorps members receive a paycheck every two weeks, with compensation equivalent to $20.04 per hour served. Additional benefits include a member assistance program and education benefits, including up to $1,956.35 for college tuition or student loans, federal student loan forbearance and interest repayment, and time accrual toward Public Service Loan Forgiveness.
