About the role
READ 718 is looking for volunteer literacy tutors for our Fall Cycle of our remote After School READing Program (September 22 - December 11). Volunteers must attend an orientation and one training session. They must also be willing to undergo a background check and provide two references, personal or professional.
READ 718 is a non-profit literacy center that provides after school tutoring and literacy workshops to low-income students in grades 3-8. We are looking for dedicated, reliable, caring, positive people who are committed to working with a child twice a week for 10 weeks (September 22 - December 11), excluding national holidays. Sessions will be held online via Zoom. Tutors will be provided with easy-to-follow lesson plans for each session, and will have access to reading specialists for questions and guidance.
Children who are behind in reading after grade 3 and do not receive the targeted instruction that they need simply fall further and further behind. READ 718 aims to provide students with high quality, supplementary instruction to bridge the gap between students who are struggling and their grade level peers.
Age Minimum (with Adult): 18+, Minimum Age:18+

Before you apply
Applying takes about a minute. These four things decide how fast it moves after that.
Your profile is current
It's what we read first. Occupations, seniority and locations matter more than a long history.
Two examples you can talk through
Not a portfolio — just two pieces of work where you can explain the decisions and what you'd change.
A number in mind
What you're on now and what would make you move. We negotiate better when we know both.
Your notice period
Employers plan around it, and it's the question that stalls offers most often.
Once you apply, someone reads it and calls you before anything reaches the employer — usually within two working days.
