POSITION OVERVIEW

Job Description: In addition to tutoring through the DC Reads program, the Team Leader also serves as the primary resource for the tutors at that site. The Team Leader acts as the main representative of CUA DC Reads while tutoring, assists with conveying information, training and recruiting tutors, as well as building community among his/her team.

Commitment: Team Leaders commit to serve for one semester, but it is highly recommended that they are able to serve for the full academic year. There is no guarantee that a tutor will be rehired as a team leader every semester. Retention of the job is dependent upon previous job performance and availability of the position on the team you are working on.

Benefits: The Team Leader position is an opportunity to develop leadership and communication skills as well as to gain experience in managing a team. You would be responsible for each member of your team during tutoring. If you are a work-study student, Team Leaders will have a starting pay of $13.00/hr with the possibility of an increase depending upon the number of years working for DC Reads ($0.25 increase per academic year as a Leader). Team Leaders will also have the opportunity to earn more hours in the extra duties that the position demands.
