Position Summary
As a GO Fellow, you will play a critical role in supporting students’ academic success by providing targeted, small-group instruction in Math. Fellows are embedded within school communities and contribute meaningfully to students’ daily learning experiences.
We are seeking dedicated and knowledgeable fellows who are passionate about educational equity and eager to make a measurable difference in students' academic achievement. Ideal candidates are skilled at building relationships, adapting to different learning styles, and engaging students in-person through thoughtful, culturally responsive instruction.
Fellows typically work with 3-4 students per session in a supportive environment, helping to drive gains in core academic areas while fostering student confidence and connection. This is a great opportunity for those looking to gain experience in education, mentorship, or youth development — especially recent graduates or those exploring a path in teaching.
Fellows must be able to fully commit to the schedule listed above. Schedules will be finalized during training and will remain consistent throughout the year.
You will earn:
AmeriCorps living allowance (see more about this below)
AmeriCorps Segal Education Award upon successful completion of up to $5,176.50
Valuable professional and personal experience in public education, youth development, civic-engagement, teamwork and leadership

The AmeriCorps Living Allowance and the number of pay cycles may vary depending on your assigned start date and location. Members who complete the Three-Quarter Time term (1,200 hours) receive a pre-tax living allowance of $24,000 for the full service year. The estimated pre-tax living allowance typically ranges from $800 to $1,200 in biweekly payments. Please note that the precise living allowance total and bi-weekly payment details will be clearly outlined in your offer letter and/or during the onboarding process.
