About The Position

Reading Corps is hiring Reading Tutors to serve at a local school during the 2026–27 school year. Tutors help students improve their reading skills by delivering proven activities, with training and ongoing coaching provided. On each school day, tutors meet with pairs of students for 20-minute reading practice sessions, following a schedule until all assigned students have been served. Tutors encourage students as they develop reading skills and confidence.

The positions run from January 2027 through June 2027. Full-time tutors serve 35 hours per week, with fewer hours during weeks with holidays or school release days. Hours are during the daytime and generally correspond with school start and end times, typically 8 a.m. to 3 p.m., Monday through Friday. Part-time positions of 25 hours per week are also available. AmeriCorps members have a total service-hour commitment for the program year; most hours are completed at their service site, and members may occasionally complete approved service or training outside the school day as needed.

Full-time AmeriCorps members receive a paycheck (stipend) every two weeks at $15.88 per hour served. Benefits include individual health insurance with the monthly premium fully covered, child care assistance based on family size and income, a member assistance program, education awards of up to $1,956.35 for college tuition or student loans, federal student loan forbearance and interest repayment, and time accrual toward the Public Service Loan Forgiveness Program.
