Summer Tutors Program FAQ's:

How long is the program?

About six weeks. The 2010 program dates are June 15th - July 23rd.

What hours will I be expected to work?

Monday through Thursday, 8:00 a.m. - 12:00 p.m. You will also be required to attend an orientation before summer school begins, job workshops during the program and an end-of-the-summer wrap-up party.

What kind of things will I be expected to do?

Tutors are assigned to a classroom and are expected to help the teacher with a variety of tasks, such as taking attendance, planning and executing classroom activities, assisting students with learning activities and homework, assisting in the identifying and resolving of problems, distributing teaching materials, managing the classroom during breaks, maintaining a clean environment and other duties as needed.

How much will I get paid?

Why can't I be in summer school and work as a tutor at the same time?

Unfortunately, the summer school hours conflict.

What if I have a vacation planned or want to attend a camp?

Talk to your parents or guardian and see if you are able to take a vacation or attend camp before or after the summer school session. You cannot miss more than two days of work during the five weeks (no exceptions).

Will I need a work permit?

Yes, once you are hired you will need to obtain a work permit before the orientation. You should be able to obtain the permit from your school or the District 65 main office. The Youth Job Center will provide you with an "Intent to Hire" letter.
