Reading Tutor
About The Position
Reading Corps is hiring Reading Tutors to work at local schools and help students improve their reading skills. Tutors are trained to deliver proven activities and receive coaching throughout their service. On each school day, tutors provide pairs of students with 20 minutes of reading practice, help students return to their classrooms, and move on to the next pair according to a schedule. Tutors encourage students as they build their reading skills and confidence. The position is for the 2026–27 school year, with service running from January 2027 through June 2027. Full-time positions are 32 hours per week, with fewer hours during weeks that include holidays or school release days. The schedule follows daytime school hours, Monday through Friday, with no weekends. Part-time positions are also available at 25 and 15 hours per week. Full-time AmeriCorps members receive a paycheck (stipend) every two weeks at $19 per hour served, along with additional benefits.

It is a high-impact tutoring program supported by research from ServeMinnesota’s National Science + Service Collaborative.
