Job Summary
Were glad youre considering applying to become an Emerald Youth JustLead Tutor.

Why do we need tutors
Each year students in our afterschool programs take the MAP (Measures of Academic Progress) Assessment to determine their academic performance levels and identify skill deficiencies they may have. Emerald Youth strives to meet students learning needs and help address learning gaps. Past data has shown that many of our students who were paired with tutors achieved greater academic growth which is why we need you! While with their tutor students are able to work on specific reading and math skills with resources and content catered to their individual levels. This individualized instruction has great potential to help students make significant progress towards their learning goals and close the learning gap helping them have the skills to be more successful and addition tutoring allows students to build their confidence in who they are as learners and what they are capable of. This is an opportunity for you to have a direct impact in the lives of students.
If hired where would I work
Tutors would be placed at one of EYs JustLead program sites. EYs JustLead ministry is implemented through a network of more than 18 churches and faith-based organizations (FBOs) to raise up a large number of urban youth to love Jesus Christ and become effective leaders who help renew their communities. Structured and meaningful activities (i.e. academics health service-learning discipleship etc.) take place with young people at a church and FBO to achieve this holistic vision.

Tutors will work 8-10 hours per week during our summer day program hours of 9:00AM-3:00PM. Tutors should be able to work at least 3 or 4 days each week for 2-3 hours per day. Exact days and schedule per week will be determined based on candidate availability and EY students needs/availability.
What age group would I work with
