Description

The AmeriCorps Distance Tutoring Coordinator plays a critical role in our school-based operations within the region. In response to Covid-19, Reading Partners will implement a distance tutoring program, for which the AmeriCorps Distance Tutoring Coordinator will serve in collaboration with other AmeriCorps members and/or Reading Partners staff as a team in order to deliver the program. This role may lead all student support services to ensure their success in the program. The Distance Tutoring Coordinator also serves as the lead logistical and family, student, and volunteer engagement support, ensuring all parties are equipped to attend and successfully complete their sessions. They accomplish this by coordinating and coaching tutors, communicating with, coordinating, and supporting families, observing distance tutoring sessions for student needs, and maintaining data systems related to distance tutoring. Distance Tutoring Coordinators will also provide direct technical support, as needed, to students and families while implementing the distance tutoring program. This is an exciting new and adapted role that supports new programming created in response to Covid-19 and is an opportunity to serve and get involved in a literacy program that works! Our Distance Tutoring Coordinators are ambassadors for service, demonstrate strong leadership skills, and strongly believe in our vision and values. Note that this role may shift as-needed based on how individual school environments shift given Covid-19 and that this is not a remote position except when mandated by local and/or organizational Covid protocols.
