Lead Engagement Officer

The Experience Matters Ameri Corps Program seeks to decrease reading difficulties and increase the joy of reading to K-8 students attending Title I schools in an Out-of-School Time (OST) program setting. The program was founded on evidence-based research, and encompasses the desire to provide caring and trained support to students suffering from the negative impacts of pandemic learning loss. The Experience Matters program supports new and existing tutoring programs across Metropolitan Phoenix and Maricopa County, by providing Academic Mentors that will deliver an evidence-based reading program based upon The Science of Reading.

The Science of Reading includes 5 Pillars of Reading Instruction:
Phonemic Awareness, Phonics, Fluency, Vocabulary, and Comprehension. This program has been developed to build students' literacy outside the classroom, and highlights evidence-based curriculum used across the country. Our team is comprised of a Lead Academic Advisor (research-based), a Lead Engagement Officer (engagement and activity building), and Academic Mentors--who provide all on-site programming to students.

At their core, the Lead Engagement Officer will be trained to deliver an evidence-based program aimed to decrease reading difficulties and increase the joy of reading to K-8 students attending Title I schools in an Out-of-School Time program setting. The Lead Engagement Officer will also oversee activity and event creation for facilitation of "Career Days" (speaker events) at all or most after school sites staffed with Academic Mentors, with the outcome of improved disposition regarding student outlook and moods on academics and learning.

They will engage with Academic Mentors to schedule, coach, assist, and lead them through the event, to make sure all activities are appropriate for their students.
