TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 17th DEADLINE
HELP STUDENTS MAKE UP LOST GROUND IN THE FALL!
Less than 35% of fourth graders in Boston Public Schools can read proficiently, rendering them more likely to experience a myriad of other risk factors. Getting involved early can help children increase their reading skills so they can become strong readers before exiting third grade, greatly improving their chances of lifelong success! Be a part of our VIRTUAL volunteer team to combat this literacy crisis!
Tutor students in reading through video conferencing. We provide extensive training to prepare you for success! No previous teaching experience is required. You will use digital books to tutor a student one-on-one (in 1st, 2nd or 3rd grade) following a structured 30 minute tutoring format.
You work with the same students every week to develop a strong relationship, serve as a mentor, and see meaningful improvement in their reading skills.
This position is a 10 hour/week AmeriCorps member position (position includes a living stipend and education award, which can be applied to your higher education tuition/student loans or to those of a loved one).

Mission Statement
Literations drives educational equity through experienced community volunteers empowering young readers for lifelong learning.
Description
Literations is a nonprofit literacy organization dedicated to improving the reading proficiency of young students in 1st through 4th grade in under-resourced communities using a proven literacy model and trained volunteer coaches.
Nearly 70% of students who live in our communities are not reading at grade level when they enter the fourth grade. Literations is squarely positioned to address the urgent need for individualized support given the growing opportunity gaps for young students.
Our Unique Model
- Our exclusive focus on students in 1st-4th grade results from the growing body of research that indicates this is the juncture that has the most impact on a child’s lifelong success.
- Providing more time to practice reading skills with trained volunteer coaches using a structured curriculum provides students with the skills and confidence to succeed.
