Literations

Literations drives educational equity through experienced community volunteers empowering young readers for lifelong learning.

Literations envisions a day when all students, regardless of zip code, enter the fifth grade as proficient readers poised for academic success. Our mission is driving educational equity through experienced community volunteers empowering young readers for lifelong learning. We serve communities where opportunity gaps exist to ensure all students have the resources to become literacy proficient. Our experienced community volunteers are matched 1:1 with early elementary students from one of our 17 partners. These pairs meet weekly throughout the school year to accelerate students’ reading growth. Our highly-effective programming annually supports over 500 children to help them succeed in school and beyond. Literations is an affiliate of AARP Foundation Experience Corps, a national leader in engaging older adult volunteer coaches to improve grade 1-4 student literacy.

Literations is looking for an individual with demonstrated nonprofit program experience who thrives in a fast-paced environment and is flexible and customer service oriented. The Program Specialist will play a vital role in ensuring the successful implementation of our After-School program. This position is ideal for individuals who are self-starters, want to expand their skills in implementing a program model with fidelity, and are looking to grow their experience in stakeholder relationship building and management.

At the heart of Literations’ programming is our dedicated corps of older adult volunteers (50+). We are seeking a specialist who is passionate about intergenerational work and thrives when supporting a mature, service-minded population.
