The Westfield Youth Assistance Program (WYAP) is seeking K-6 licensed educators or instructional assistants currently in a Westfield elementary school or at Westfield Intermediate School (WIS) to provide one-on-one tutoring sessions for students who need additional support with math and literacy.
WYAP also accepts retired educators, administrators, or educators recently out of the classroom as long as they have or have had a license.
Things to know
- Applications must be completed in their entirety before mid-August.
- Sessions begin the week of Labor Day. There will be a total of 27 one-hour sessions over the course of the school year: 14 in Semester 1 and 13 in Semester 2. Sessions conclude the last week of March.
- Sessions must only take place at the Westfield Washington Library. No exceptions.
- ONLY tutors who can transport their youth to and from their home for the session are needed. For this, a copy of your driver’s license and auto insurance is required. This will also require an extended background check at no cost to the applicant. For gas compensation, a $100 gift card will be provided.
- One-hour sessions will be on either Monday, Tuesday, or Wednesday, as early as 3:30 p.m. for elementary youth and 4:30 p.m. for WIS youth for pickup from home. The last possible session block is 6:45 p.m. to 7:45 p.m., as the library closes at 8 p.m. (Very few youth have availability Thursday from 3:30 p.m. to 4:30 p.m. – this is only possible for elementary youth because the library closes at 5 p.m.). The day and time of the session will be consistent for all 27 sessions. You will be matched with a youth who shares your availability.
- If your schedule permits, you may work with more than one youth.
- Both paid and volunteer positions are available. Compensation is $50 per session and checks are mailed at the conclusion of each semester.
