EAST HARTFORD PUBLIC SCHOOLS

Want to make an impact on our middle school students? Following the success of our new math labs created this school year, we're looking for tutors to continue this work next year! East Hartford Middle School is extending its partnership with the GO Foundation to offer this high-dosage math tutoring. The GO Foundation is a program of AmeriCorps, the federal agency for national service and volunteerism. GO Foundation tutors, or fellows, receive a living and housing stipend, an education award, and other added benefits. The GO Foundation is currently recruiting a diverse group of tutors who reflect the children of East Hartford to start in August. For more information, visit https://gofellows.org.
