Mississippi Reading Corps - Full Time

Thousands of children need extra help to read at grade level. Take action as a tutor because kids who are strong readers by the end of 3rd grade are positioned to be strong learners for the rest of their lives.

As a Reading Tutor, you'll be placed at a local school where you'll help students in kindergarten through third grade to become better readers. Every day, you'll meet with students one-on-one or in pairs to provide extra practice and build skills. With training and on-site coaching, we'll prepare you to help kids succeed.

Students make the most progress when you are there, so our tutors serve during school hours and are needed for the entire school year. We are currently recruiting tutors for the 2024-2025 school year, with the option of beginning in August, October or January. This is an AmeriCorps member position with Reading Corps and you'll be joining a team of nearly 2,000 tutors nationwide.

Together, we're on a mission because kids who read have the power to succeed! Further help on this page can be found by clicking here.
