America Reads/Counts Program

Students who meet the eligibility requirements for the Federal Work-Study program may be able to earn their work-study wages through the America Reads/Counts program.

How the program works:

- College students tutor young elementary school students in reading and/or math during school

- Tutors go to elementary schools to work one on one with the children

- Tutors receive training and support to make the tutoring experience both rewarding and effective

The college student tutors will work with the young students to provide extra instructional help in subjects where improvement is needed. The tutor’s role is often not only to help the students raise their grades, but also to improve the youth’s attitude and increase their self-confidence and pride in achievement. An important focus of this program may be to help students recognize the importance of school, and to understand how to be more successful in their classes.

College students who wish to become a part of the program must complete an application form, complete a background screening, and interview with the classroom teacher or other school personnel. There will be a formal training program conducted prior to beginning tutoring. Students will keep a log of their hours and activities, and will work under the direct supervision of teachers in various local elementary schools.

Students from any area of concentration may apply to become part of the program. Education and/or Human Services majors may especially want to consider applying. Benefits for tutors include gaining valuable skills, building their resume, meeting new people, and connecting with their communities. Students who are accepted for the program will be paid the standard $11.00 per hour work-study wage.

For more information about the program, contact the Financial Aid Office or Job Placement Office at your college.

Community Service

A limited number of positions are available in the community at not-for-profit agencies. An interview with the agency will be conducted before a student is hired. Students in community service positions will work under the direct supervision of an employee of the not-for-profit agency. Work study students are paid the standard $11.00 per hour work-study wage.

For more information about the program, contact the Financial Aid Office or Job Placement Office at your college.
