Fresno: Help solve the literacy crisis as an ESL Teacher

Save to Favorites

Have you ever wanted to do something AMAZING to change the world but didn't know where to start?

Here is an opportunity to join the American Youth Literacy Foundation, an all- volunteer 501 c 3 charitable non-profit organization, founded in 2008 and dedicated to providing a gateway to a future in which all children, in every classroom in America, learn how to read by the end of 3rd grade. Our mission is to save millions of children from a lifetime of illiteracy and bring about true education parity in just a few years’ time by deploying the FUNetix(r) 12 Hour Reading App(tm) nationwide.

With the FUNetix app, which is 100% free to download and use, any child can learn how to read in about 12 hours of total play time; and in America’s public schools today, there are millions of children who can’t read or are struggling to read, which has led to more than 20 million illiterate high school dropouts over the past 20 years. But it doesn’t have to be this way!

We started in 2008 by taking a groundbreaking, science-based curriculum and proving that it can scale to reach and help thousands of children. Then, in 2020, during the pandemic, we created an app, based on our now patented reading curriculum, that takes kids from the ABC's to a 2nd grade reading level through an amazing journey that's fully narrated and tastefully animated, and gamified, just enough, to create an immersive, interactive environment that captures kids' attention and imagination and launches them to literacy in a fun and easy way.

For two years now, we are bringing the app to children who are not learning how to read in school, either because they are in schools that are failing or because they are in difficult situations at home for a variety of reasons.

The American Youth Literacy Foundation is taking a step further in its engagement through literacy by developing a new smartphone app projected to launch in 2025. The FUNetix ESL app!

This app will be designed to be the number 1 app in the world for teaching English to children, to include speaking, reading, writing, understanding and general proficiency to a 3rd grade level within 40 hours of total play time.

Right now, we are looking to expand our incredible Team FUNetix and we are looking for skilled ESL Teachers who would be willing to use the FUNetix app with their non-native English speaker students.

The ESL teachers will volunteer in partnership with the User Experience (UX) ESL Team and the Project Manager, in charge of the entire development of the FUNetix ESL app.

Indeed, our team of UX ESL is conducting ongoing clinical research of the app with ESL teachers who choose to participate in the study. This will help the team to learn what the FUNetix ESL app should consist of and what it should offer to our future users.

We hope this opportunity finds you at the right place and the right time in your career to make a difference and an impact, in an amazing way, for millions of children who are waiting for someone, or something, to lead them out of a life of impoverishment and into a future of unlimited possibility and potential.

So, if this sounds like something that you have the time for and interest in, and if you have the confidence and ability to work in a virtual environment using select networking and communications tools and platforms, then please reply to this listing and tell us about yourself.

We look forward to hearing from you and speaking with you about the future of literacy in America.
