At KVC West Virginia, we believe every child deserves the chance to thrive.

• Ensuring the student stays on track by reviewing upcoming assignments, preparing for quizzes and tests, and helping them understand and interpret the questions while guiding them as they complete their work.
• Utilizing learning platforms (IXL and Newsela) to strengthen skills and address areas where students need additional support based on their progress and observations.
• Communicating with the EDIFY Program Manager about updates, logging session notes, and developing plans for improving academic performance.

• College student with knowledge across various subjects.

Requirements

• Complete a quick background check through the West Virginia Department of Human Services as part of the onboarding process.

Benefits

• Gain hands-on experience in education and mentorship.
• Make a meaningful impact on foster youth's academic success.
• Receive training and ongoing support to feel confident and comfortable in your role.
