LITERACY LAB FELLOW - Washington, DC

LITERACY LAB FELLOW - Washington, DC ABOUT THE LITERACY LAB: The Literacy Lab is a national non-profit organization.

We believe that literacy is not just a skill, but a fundamental human right.

This belief fosters our unwavering desire to ensure that all people have access to evidence-based literacy development to unlock opportunities for success in school and life.

Through this work, we aim to build a world where everyone has the literacy to shape their future and make their hopes and aspirations a reality.

It is our commitment to people-first, continuous innovation and improvement, and transformative results that fuel everything we do.

We seek staff, leaders, and Fellows who see opportunities in every challenge, maintain a sense of abundance amidst the brutal facts, view holding oneself and others accountable as essential parts of showing care and respect, and use multiple forms of data to guide decisions, actions, and behaviors.

We are an organization of people who bring different experiences and perspectives, aligned around a set of shared values, driving toward a common purpose.

The Literacy Lab currently operates in the following locations: Washington, DC; Baltimore, MD; Atlanta, GA; Cincinnati, OH; and Milwaukee, WI.

Since 2009, The Literacy Lab has provided evidence-based literacy instruction to more than 40,000 children to develop early literacy skills.

POSITION SUMMARY The Literacy Lab Fellow is embedded in a classroom of children, pre-K through first grade, to develop their early literacy skills to prepare them to be successful readers.

Fellows are trained in research-based early literacy strategies and collaborate with the classroom teaching staff to enhance daily literacy opportunities and conduct literacy assessments.

Fellows work 5 days a week, 5 hours per day, at a rate of $16.75 - $18.50 an hour (determined based on region), and receive rigorous, career-focused experience while shaping the academic and life trajectories of their students.

During the Fellowship, Fellows are supported with post-Fellowship planning based on their future goals, which may include applying for college, seeking employment opportunities in the education and nonprofit sectors, and continuously engaging with the community.
