Wa He Lut Indian School Reading Tutor

This is an Ameri Corps/Washington Service Corps national service position. It is contingent on funding and open until filled. Wa He Lut Indian School is located on Frank's Landing Indian Community in Olympia, Washington. Wa He Lut serves about 130 Native American students in Kindergarten through 8th grade. Our students represent at least 30 different Tribal Nations. The school was founded in 1974 on the banks of the Nisqually Delta.

The Delta is the historic site of the Treaty of Medicine Creek which was signed in 1854. The school is also the site of the Fishing Rights struggle that resulted in the Boldt decision of 1974. Wa He Lut Indian School was established as a safe haven for Native American students, and that tradition continues today. We provide a safe, culturally relevant academic environment.

We empower Native Learners, and we embrace traditional teachings and values of respect, responsibility, and pride. The member will support our academic interventions and cultural programming under the supervision of the Reading Intervention Specialist. We expect to begin rolling review of applications and interviews in late June. Monthly stipend amount: $3,047.
