Reading Assist Fellows serve in elementary schools in New Jersey providing reading instruction to students in kindergarten through third grade who face significant reading challenges. Fellows teach foundational reading skills to students who might never learn to read through traditional classroom education. Fellows begin with 4 weeks of full-time, graduate-level training and then are embedded into high-needs elementary schools. Fellows transform the lives of students who may have dyslexia or other reading disorders.
Fellows work with 9-18 students for 30 minutes each day and meet with an experienced Program Manager every week for support and feedback. The Reading Assist Fellowship, an Ameri Corps program, requires 675-1200 service hours to be completed between August 24, 2026, to June 30, 2027. Fellows receive time off for all school holidays and breaks. The Reading Assist service year only requires 675-1200 hours, leaving ample time for part-time work to supplement living allowance.
You may earn additional pay through Reading Assist's after-school tutoring, pending availability.
