Brilliant Detroit will offer multiple literacy programs in-person for the summer of 2023. We are seeking new tutors to fill our growing student demand. In-person Volunteer Literacy Tutors will be asked to tutor small groups of 3-5 children, ages 5-8, according to their chosen program’s literacy curriculum. The summer session will start July 10th and end on August 24th. Tutoring sessions will occur Monday - Thursdays between the hours of 10am-2pm. We ask that volunteers commit to tutoring twice a week for 1.5 hours at a time. We will schedule your sessions based on your availability.
Volunteer tutors will be asked to attend a program-specific training and a diversity, equity, and inclusion training and undergo a background check.
Some of the tasks that tutors may perform include the following:
- Prepare books and materials for each session (materials will be provided)
- Facilitate group reading games
- Read aloud to students demonstrating reading fluency
- Ask students questions about the reading content to assess their understanding
- Complete a session log summarizing the session after each session
