About East Harlem Tutorial Program (EHTP)

Founded in 1958 as a children’s reading group, EHTP has grown into a dynamic multi‑site after‑school program for students in traditional public schools and a network of public charter schools dedicated to dramatically increasing the college graduation rate in East Harlem. We believe that all young people deserve access to an excellent education without having to leave their community. East Harlem is a vibrant neighborhood that has long faced systemic educational inequities, and we work in close partnership with students and families to help them unlock their limitless potential.

Our schools and programs provide rigorous, engaging academics combined with holistic support, ensuring that students develop the critical thinking skills, confidence, and knowledge necessary to excel in college and beyond.

At EHTP, we strive to be an agent of change in the fight for racial equity, recognizing that education is a powerful tool for transformation. Through a rigorous, student‑centered curriculum, we prepare our scholars to challenge the status quo, think critically, and become leaders who shape a more just world. Our commitment to anti‑racism is woven into every aspect of our work—from our instructional practices and professional development to our organizational policies and community engagement.

As educators and staff, we continually examine our own biases and identities, ensuring that our classrooms and programs are spaces of inclusion, empowerment, and academic excellence.

The Work and Why it Matters

The Group Leader plays an integral role in the summer camp program’s success by fostering a welcoming and engaging community through effective classroom management, social‑emotional learning (SEL) competencies, and team‑building activities. Group Leaders need to be willing and happy to work with any age range, from Grades K to 12. They will ensure that all students engage in a meaningful and impactful way throughout the school year, working on weekly challenges with their assigned group, and assisting the various Activity Specialists throughout the week.
