Being a Literacy Network teaching intern is a great way to sharpen your instructive, managerial, or communication skills while helping local adults in need. All Literacy Network interns enjoy a positive, supportive environment in which staff, volunteers, adult students, and other interns all work together to make literacy programs effective and enjoyable for all.
Summer internships are available within two programs this summer: the Community Literacy ESL Tutoring program, and Skills in Computers and Literacy for Employment (SCALE) program. All applications are due by 5pm Sunday, April 9.
