Site Facilitator, Wright to Read

Project Specialist: Memorandum of Understanding

Project Specialist Name: Site Facilitator

Program Supported: Wright to Read (WTR)

Program Summary: Wright to Read has been providing services in the city of Alexandria for over 47 years. Our flagship tutor-mentor program has largely targeted Alexandria City Public School-(ACPS) enrolled elementary-aged children who need additional literacy supports by pairing students one-on-one with a volunteer tutor-mentor. These matches typically last at least three years on average, and the strength of the relationship developed between student and volunteer usually leads to continued involvement and engagement in the program. 

Wright to Read is looking for an enthusiastic and engaging person to serve as Site Facilitator for our ACPS after-school, site-based program. In this role, the Site Facilitator will take the lead in guiding the students and tutor-mentors through the program activities for each session, managing communication with program participants (both families and volunteers), and continuous evaluation and improvement of the program. She/he/they will be able to lead participants through the set curriculum and meet program objectives while effectively keeping the participants highly engaged. In the case of volunteer absences, the Site Facilitator will provide direct services to students to ensure students consistently receive tutoring each week.
