FOR LOVE OF CHILDREN: SITE COORDINATOR (Part-Time)
For Love of Children (FLOC) is a nonprofit organization focused on the mission to give young children and high-risk youth the opportunity to succeed through a continuum of educational services that will prepare them with the skills necessary to become life-long learners and contributing members of their communities.
FLOC’s Neighborhood Tutoring Program (NTP) provides one-on-one assistance in reading and math to students in grades 1 through 12. Tutoring is provided at the FLOC office and in area schools. The goal of the Neighborhood Tutoring Program is to help children read and perform arithmetic at or above grade level while giving them the skills needed to do homework independently. Special evaluation tools are used to assess each student’s progress and ensure 100% mastery before beginning the next step.

Under the supervision of full-time FLOC staff, site coordinators help to facilitate the Neighborhood Tutoring Program’s afterschool tutoring programs.
