ACE:  A Community for Education
Teach young children to read and give back to the community in and around Austin, Texas, while gaining experience and benefits during your service year.  Our mission is to provide low-income schools with highly trained AmeriCorps tutors to ensure that children advance to grade level in reading before third grade.

What’s in it for me?
You will be able to pursue alternative teaching certification, gain leadership skills and experience in education, and earn an education award of up to $5,550.  You will also be eligible for student loan forbearance while living in Austin and earning a modest monthly living allowance.

What’s involved?
You will tutor about 10 children one-on-one daily for 30 minutes as well as participate in a monthly Saturday service project.  You will teach and learn using a research-based curriculum and receive ongoing training and professional development.  Commitment is 1 year of service.  There is an option to tutor in Spanish.
