Learning Club Teaching Internship Program
established 2018
The Learning Club Teaching Internship program is for high school students in Kansas City, Kansas who are interested in exploring teaching as a career and mentoring children in the KCK community!
Once a week, interns tutor younger students one-on-one, providing them with help on their homework, reading, writing, and math. They also serve as mentors and inspire students to pursue their dreams and give back to their communities. Besides academics, interns are an integral part of providing a safe, joyous, and positive environment for the Learning Club students who need it most.
Learning Club Teaching Internship Goals:
Interns receive training centered around personal and professional development and education as a career. Training topics include financial literacy, career exploration, teaching as a career, community service, applying to and paying for college, resume building, interview skills, self-care, and much more! Learning Club tries to eliminate barriers for interns by providing transportation and a weekly stipend.
Graduating interns are eligible to apply for the Learning Club Teaching Scholarship, providing $2,500 a year for up to five years for those pursuing degrees in the education field. We hope to be a part of the solution to “grow our own” teachers in the Kansas City area, to best serve our community.
Our interns are the leaders and changemakers of the future, and we are happy to be a part of their development and growth!
