Do you believe that literacy is a human right? Reading is the foundation for educational success and opportunities in life, yet many children are not given the time and skills to build this foundation. Children without the necessary literacy skills can fall behind quickly, and the consequences last a lifetime. Children who are not reading on grade level by the end of third grade are four times less likely to graduate from high school. The Literacy Lab recognizes that ensuring all students have the chance to read proficiently is an urgent and critical need. Our approach is to provide pre-K and elementary schools with evidence-based literacy intervention, full-time literacy tutors to implement the model, and assessment tools and a coaching support structure that ensures the success of the program and students. If you believe literacy is a human right and want to ensure that all children learn to read proficiently, you belong on our team! WHAT YOU’LL DO Tutors will serve full-time for an entire academic year in an assigned school and work with a caseload of about 15-18 students in need of targeted reading support. Tutors will implement specific early literacy interventions, conduct weekly progress monitoring, and work with a team of coaches to make data-informed decisions to ensure each child is on track to read proficiently. Tutors are a part of the school community and will work to build strong relationships with students, teachers, and other staff. In addition, tutors will participate in community-based volunteer opportunities. At a minimum, a tutor must: Serve for the duration of the school day M-F Commit to serving for the full school year (August-June/ July) Become engaged with volunteer opportunities at your school site and in the community Act on feedback from coaches and program staff Utilize specific data-based and scripted curriculum ELIGIBILITY At a minimum, all applicants must: Be at least 18 years old Have a high school diploma, GED, or equivalency Have served no more than 3 previous AmeriCorps terms Be a US citizen, national, or permanent resident DACA recipients are unfortunately not eligible to apply Candidates must not be registered, or be required to register, on any sex offender registry LOCATIONS SERVED Richmond, VA Henrico, VA Hopewell, VA Peterburg, VA Hampton Roads, VA BENEFITS Over the course of their service term, tutors receive: A modest living allowance ($1400/ month) Federal student loan forbearance Segal Education Award upon completion of service Health insurance, with all premiums covered by The Literacy Lab Access to SNAP benefits, as well as Childcare and Employee Assistance Programs Transferable professional development that complements your service year experience REASONABLE ACCOMMODATIONS The Literacy Lab is an Equal Opportunity Employer.

A Court Appointed Special Advocate (CASA) volunteer is a trained citizen appointed by a judge to represent the best interests of children in court, most of whom have been removed from their parents or guardians due to abuse or neglect. They are in foster homes with the Dept. of Social Services having legal custody. After undergoing a criminal background check, volunteers complete 35 hours of pre-service training and court observation. CASA volunteers talk with the child, parents, family members, social workers, school officials, health care providers and others who are knowledgeable of the child's history. He or she also may review the child's school and medical records. The CASA then prepares a written report for the judge providing the information gathered while on the case. CASA volunteers typically carry one case and are not permitted to carry more than two. Each case is different. Some CASA volunteers prefer advocating for young children and others accept the challenge of advocating for teens. A volunteer usually spends about 10 hours per month on each case. Portsmouth CASA asks volunteers to make a one-year commitment to the program.

Do you believe that literacy is a human right? Reading is the foundation for educational success and opportunities in life, yet many children are not given the time and skills to build this foundation. Children without the necessary literacy skills can fall behind quickly, and the consequences last a lifetime. Children who are not reading on grade level by the end of third grade are four times less likely to graduate from high school. The Literacy Lab recognizes that ensuring all students have the chance to read proficiently is an urgent and critical need. Our approach is to provide pre-K and elementary schools with evidence-based literacy intervention, full-time literacy tutors to implement the model, and assessment tools and a coaching support structure that ensures the success of the program and students. If you believe literacy is a human right and want to ensure that all children learn to read proficiently, you belong on our team! WHAT YOU’LL DO Tutors will serve full-time for an entire academic year in an assigned school and work with a caseload of about 15-18 students in need of targeted reading support. Tutors will implement specific early literacy interventions, conduct weekly progress monitoring, and work with a team of coaches to make data-informed decisions to ensure each child is on track to read proficiently. Tutors are a part of the school community and will work to build strong relationships with students, teachers, and other staff. In addition, tutors will participate in community-based volunteer opportunities. At a minimum, a tutor must: Serve for the duration of the school day M-F Commit to serving for the full school year (August-June/ July) Become engaged with volunteer opportunities at your school site and in the community Act on feedback from coaches and program staff Utilize specific data-based and scripted curriculum ELIGIBILITY At a minimum, all applicants must: Be at least 18 years old Have a high school diploma, GED, or equivalency Have served no more than 3 previous AmeriCorps terms Be a US citizen, national, or permanent resident DACA recipients are unfortunately not eligible to apply Candidates must not be registered, or be required to register, on any sex offender registry LOCATIONS SERVED Richmond, VA Henrico, VA Hopewell, VA Peterburg, VA Hampton Roads, VA BENEFITS Over the course of their service term, tutors receive: A modest living allowance ($1400/ month) Federal student loan forbearance Segal Education Award upon completion of service Health insurance, with all premiums covered by The Literacy Lab Access to SNAP benefits, as well as Childcare and Employee Assistance Programs Transferable professional development that complements your service year experience REASONABLE ACCOMMODATIONS The Literacy Lab is an Equal Opportunity Employer.

Mutts with a Mission always needs puppy raisers.

Our puppy raisers are very special people, and we depend on them to help us provide quality dogs. As a Puppy Raiser you bring one of our service dog candidate pups into your home and care for him for the first 12 – 18 months attending training classes during this time. Mutts with a Mission will pay for food, veterinary care, equipment, and training. There are few things in this world more heart-warming than handing your pup’s leash over to its new partner and knowing that you’ve helped to return independence to a veteran who gave selflessly of themselves.
