Volunteer: Board Member
Team Read is seeking board members committed to closing opportunity gaps, youth development and our organizational growth.
Team Read believes all kids deserve to be great readers and teens should have access to meaningful paid jobs. We work to close education opportunity gaps through a unique, cross-age, and year-round one-to-one tutoring program. Our dual-impact model enables students to become confident readers with the necessary reading skills for academic success, and teens to develop personal and work skills
through meaningful paid tutoring jobs that develop life skills and support their transition into college and future employment.
Team Read envisions equitable learning communities in Seattle/King County and beyond, where young students are reading with skill and joy, and teens are developing into future leaders. Both are set for success in school, the job market, and life. We focus where opportunity gaps are greatest and are driven by care and compassion to provide valuable support to young readers and career exploration to teens.
Time Commitment:
Board meetings are held bi-monthly (6 per year), on the third Thursday evening of the month. In addition, each Board member is expected to serve on a committee that meets in the other months for 1 hour via conference call or in person. Board members should also plan to join and ensure enthusiastic attendance at the annual Spring Luncheon, and may be asked to participate in site visits, teen coach trainings, and other special events throughout the year.
