Post-Grad Service Opportunity

ATTENTION SENIORS – do you:

 

a)      Want to be a highly effective educator in urban schools?

b)      Want to volunteer for a year before grad school, law school, or medical school?

c)       Want to get involved in education reform or public policy?

d)      Want to transition into a career in the non-profit or education sector?

e)      Want to continue to use your Haitian Creole skills?

 

If so, consider committing a year to the Match Corps, a one-year urban education service fellowship. Corps members volunteer full-time in one of our charter schools in Boston, or in a traditional district school in Lawrence with whom we have partnered, tutoring and mentoring a small caseload of students. We also offer the Match Teacher Residency, so that in addition to tutoring full-time, Corps members can train and earn certification to become full-time teachers in other high-need urban schools. The highest need for candidates with foreign language skills is at Match Community Day, our elementary school that specifically serves English Language Learners.

 

We recruit from all majors; candidates do not need to have a background in education. We seek candidates with strong content backgrounds – math, science, English, history, foreign language, etc, and those who share our passion for social justice and education reform.
