The Monterey County Office of Education’s AmeriCorps is kicking off its annual “Monterey County United for Literacy” program by seeking qualified tutors to read with K-4th grade students.
The program begins August 27, 2013 and runs through July 31, 2014. Readers must have experience working with children and/or education with a bachelor’s degree preferred (those without a bachelor’s degree must pass a proficiency exam). Tutors are expected to volunteer 1,700 hours of tutoring and community service during the 11-month program.
AmeriCorps provides a living stipend of $1,100 a month during the 11-month term. Additionally, tutors will receive a Segal Education Award of $5,550 upon successful completion of the 1,700 tutoring hours. The program also offers health insurance for AmeriCorps members, childcare assistance, if eligible, and student loan forbearance.
Training is provided. Interested parties should create an account at www.americorps.gov and search for Monterey County United for Literacy to submit an application for consideration. Questions may be directed to Erin Ortiz at eortiz@monterey.k12.ca.us or 831.755.0375.
