The AmeriCorps math and reading programs are looking to fill 2,000 tutor positions across the state, especially in the Bemidji and Brainerd areas. The organization needs 10 literacy tutors and one math tutor to fill both full-time and part-time positions in Bemidji schools. There are also nine positions open in the Brainerd, Aiken and Little Falls area. The reading specialists will work with elementary students who need extra help outside of the classroom while math tutors will work with grades 5 through 8. If you're looking or even thinking about this, this is a great thing for a college student to do. This is a great thing for somebody that just wants to work part-time or for parents that might work part-time and want to fill the gap in and be involved in their child's school. The tutors will receive a bi-weekly paycheck and can receive an award to further their education. Full-time tutors may be eligible for health insurance and childcare assistance.
