READ USA offers training and paid tutoring positions to youth ages 16–21

Read USA offers a paid student tutor program that puts Jacksonville’s middle and high school students to work helping younger kids build strong reading skills. Student tutors receive training in literacy strategies and one-on-one mentoring techniques, then work with elementary-age children in schools and community sites across Duval County. The program boosts reading confidence and comprehension for the little ones, while giving teen tutors job experience, leadership opportunities, and a chance to make a real impact in their own neighborhoods.
