Teaching Internship Program COVID-19 Update:
In response to the KCKPS school board decision to return to school after Labor Day followed by distancing learning, Learning Club will still be working with interns who apply and are accepted for this school year. The structure of the program for distance learning will not be the same as the traditional in-person tutoring, but interns will still have opportunities to connect safely with Learning Club staff and students. |

By partnering with KCKPS high school students, the Learning Club Teaching Internship is able to provide enriching mentorship sessions for local elementary school students and valuable work experience for interns. The Learning Club Teaching Internship includes interns from all six Kansas City, Kansas public high schools at four tutoring sites.
For their service with the Learning Club, interns receive a monthly stipend, internship credit, job experience, and training in education and child development. Transportation is provided for high school interns to and from the sites, so all students are welcome to apply.
The Learning Club Teaching Internship involves about 90 high school students who conduct one-on-one tutoring with students in kindergarten through 6th grade.
Providing high school interns with job skills and community leadership roles coincides with the Learning Club’s vision to provide a positive, pivotal educational experience for the children in Kansas City who need it most.
“The Learning Club is where I get to use my knowledge to serve children and where I learn new things. I was very fortunate to meet many great people and students. It was a remarkable experience.” -- Thu Za Oo, Learning Club intern (2018 pilot and 2018-19 school year)
“I love the experience of being able to work with kids, and I feel like we’ve become a family here. I just love the relationships I‘ve made with the kids!”-- Victoria Requenes, Learning Club Intern (2018-2019 school year)
