Through our place-based youth and family programs, YELLS (Youth Empowerment through Learning, Leading, and Serving, Inc.) serves as a community hub and center for servant-leadership in our students’ own neighborhood. Our programs engage the whole child, whole family, and whole community to empower youth with the skills, resources, and character they need to serve as effective leaders and change makers within their community. After 15 years of place-based work in the Franklin Gateway neighborhood, YELLS is expanding to bring its powerful programming to the Fair Oaks community, a diverse Cobb County neighborhood with primarily Hispanic and Latino families.

The role of the Reading Instructor is to ensure all YELLS youth receive the support and instruction needed to excel academically and read above grade level. The Reading Instructor designs and delivers literacy and language arts lessons that address areas of weakness and complement school-day learning. Additionally, the Reading Instructor will develop and implement intervention strategies, monitor student progress and academic data, and provide supplemental reading instruction to accelerate literacy development through targeted individual and group tutoring. Ultimately, the Reading Instructor will foster a love for reading within youth and the foundational skills to thrive throughout their educational journey. This role extends from the summer into the school year.
