<p>Does anyone know which gov’t-funded program in CA hires college kids as tutors?</p>
<p>Hi, I heard about a program in California that is funded by the gov’t in which college students go to middle schools/jr. high and tutor kids.</p>
<p>I haven’t been able to find any info on this or where I can apply or even what the name of such program is. </p>
<p>Do any of you know or can any of you direct me to a site where I could find out about this?</p>
<p>Thank you in advance.</p>
<p>You may be thinking about Upward Bound. Check out their website at <a href=“http://www.ed.gov/programs/trioupbound/index.html[/url]”>http://www.ed.gov/programs/trioupbound/index.html</a>. </p>
<p>What school are you at? You can try checking out if your school participates in Upward Bound. I have a friend at Berkeley who is an Upward Bound math/science tutor. </p>
<p>Send me a PM if you want more info. There are several groups/contacts at a few CA universities that I can try to direct you to.</p>
<p>Also try Americorps. They are national but hire tutors and for every year you work for them you are rewarded w/ increasing $$ in the form of scholarship money that is guraranteed if you live up to your end of the bargain.</p>
<p>Thanks for those links historymom and husky, I’m going to look into those.</p>
<p>I’ll send you a PM husky.</p>
<p>The person whom I talked with regarding this program said that people who tutor within it get higher than $25/hr in wage, which I thought was superb-- as well as a mention of $50/hr! I am not sure if that’s accurate or not. However, the hours weren’t more than 10/week. </p>
<p>But wage isn’t the only important thing. Thanks again, and if anyone has any info more input I’d appreciate it.</p>
