Organizational Summary: Colorado Youth for a Change (CYC) is an educational nonprofit organization with a statewide scope. CYC addresses barriers to learning by providing individualized support throughout pivotal stages of students' education journeys. We provide a continuum of services from kindergarten through high school to help students find success through tutoring, case management, and outreach to help in-school youth remain in school or out-of-school youth return to school. We envision an equitable education system where each student has access to resources they need to maximize their own learning and growth. CYC's organizational values are growth, integrity, community, and systemic transformation.
Program Overview: CYC began implementing Reading Corps in Colorado in 2017 to provide reading supports for kindergarten-third grade students. Colorado Reading Corps is an AmeriCorps program with the mission of ensuring that all students in Colorado are reading proficiently by the end of third grade. The Reading Corps program combines the power of national service with literacy science to deliver proven approaches that help struggling learners transform into confident students – something that translates into all areas of their lives. The program is a licensed replication of a national, evidence-based model.
Position Summary: The Reading Corps Coaching Specialist is responsible for assisting the Reading Corps Program Manager in fully integrating the Reading Corps AmeriCorps program into CYC's culture and identity. The Coaching Specialist is responsible for working with the program manager on program reporting, ensuring CYC/AmeriCorps mission alignment, supporting the successful implementation of the Reading Corps model within a caseload of assigned school partners, coordinating and facilitating monthly tutor trainings and orientation, and providing twice monthly supervision to tutors.
