Wear Red or Blue Tomorrow!
Please have your students wear red or blue shirts Friday 3/11!
This week is AmeriCorps Appreciation week! The Math Corps color is blue
and the Reading Corps color is red. Lincoln’s AmeriCorps tutors Adam,
Ginny, and Bridget are at Lincoln every day helping students in Math
and Reading to help them succeed at their grade level. Please have your
students wear red or blue on Friday to show appreciation for the hard work that these tutors do for students though
the Reading and Math Corps.
Reading Corps Position
Experience life-changing growth. Become a Minnesota Reading Corps or Minnesota Math Corps tutor.
Would you love to help children grow their reading or math skills, succeed in school and get extra support? If your answer is yes, you can be trained to serve as a tutor with Minnesota Reading Corps or Minnesota Math Corp in a Rochester Public School site. Whether you want to explore an educational career, reenter the workforce, or give back to your community, you can succeed as a tutor. Last year, Minnesota Reading Corps and Minnesota Math Corps provided direct services to over 40,000 children in more than 900 schools across the state.
As a tutor, you'll see a student's progress – in their test scores, in their other school work and in their eyes as they light up with the satisfaction of knowing they can do it. No child wants to stand out because they can’t learn as quickly as other kids. We’re helping more kids catch up and soar on their own. And you can be part of it.
Tutors receive on-site support from specially trained school mentors. Tutors are paid a living allowance, are eligible for an education award of up to $5,775 and given federal student loan forbearance. Tutors 55 or older may gift the award to a child or grandchild.
You can help by telling a friend or family member about our school’s open positions and openings statewide! Applicants can learn more and apply at www.MinnesotaReadingCorps.org or www.MinnesotaMathCorps.org. Strong preference is given to tutors who can begin in August. Send questions to recruitment@servemnaction.org or call 866-859-2825.
