Volunteer Literacy Tutors Needed for Fall 2025! (Boerum Hill)

READ 718 is looking for volunteer literacy tutors for our Fall Cycle of our in-person After School READing Program (September 22 - December 11). Volunteers must attend an orientation and one training session. They must also provide proof of vaccination status upon training and be willing to undergo a background check.

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. 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.
