Project REACH Hiring Licensed Hourly After-school Tutors
Jan 17 2025
The Title I Project REACH program provides tutoring services to several homeless shelters in the City of Saint Paul.

The program is looking to hire certified teachers who are highly qualified in reading and math for hourly after-school tutoring (Job ID1020796). These educators would assist children experiencing homelessness with enrichment lessons in reading, writing and math.

The tutoring assignments are from 2-4 hours per day for 1-4 days per week. Most of the available hours are between the hours of 4-8 p.m.

Teachers hired for these positions may work at various sites including emergency, domestic abuse or transitional shelters.

Please contact [email protected] if interested.

We continue to need new warm coats and new warm blankets for our students and their families. Please consider donating. Contact Heather Alden, [email protected], 1021 Marion Street St
