Volunteer Literacy Specialist

Brilliant Detroit is hosting summer programming for kids in grades K-3, designed to support literacy development, promote health and wellness, and provide engaging enrichment experiences that help young learners thrive.

Our McDougall-Hunt hub is currently looking for a dedicated volunteer to support their weekly programming! We're seeking a teacher, parent, education student, or experienced reading tutor who enjoys working with elementary-aged children. The ideal volunteer has a strong understanding of phonics and early literacy instruction and is comfortable leading a small group of students through engaging reading, writing, and conversation activities.

Your support will help prevent the "summer slide" and ensure students return to school in August feeling confident and prepared. We're looking for someone who can commit to at least one day per week during our summer programming, from July 6th through August 13th.

Available days include:

Monday & Thursday - Lit Lab from 2:45-4 p.m.

Tuesday - Book Club & Lit Lab - 12:50-4 p.m.

Additional opportunity:

Wednesday - Martial Arts - from 12:50-2 p.m.

We're also seeking volunteers to assist with our Wednesday martial arts program. If you're passionate about keeping kids active, engaged, and having fun while providing positive encouragement, we'd love to have you join us!
