Literacy Tutor (Elementary)

About Open School and the Literacy Liberators Fellowship Open School, in collaboration with the Reynolds School District, is tackling the urgent need to accelerate student learning in literacy. Too many students are falling behind in reading — and we believe our communities hold the key to helping them thrive. No formal teaching or tutoring experience is required. We are looking for community members — parents, family members, recent grads, and local leaders — who believe in our kids and want to support their success through focused, small-group tutoring. You’ll participate in a fellowship designed to equip you with the tools, skills, and support you need to make a real impact in students’ academic journeys.
