Following a successful pilot program started in January 2018, the Learning Club Teaching Internship has expanded to include interns from all six Kansas City, Kansas public high schools at four tutoring sites. 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.
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.
Starting August 2018, the Learning Club Teaching Internship selected about 80 high school students who conducted one-on-one tutoring with students in kindergarten through 6th grade. For August 2019, we plan to accept 100-120 interns to join the Learning Club and make a difference in our community.
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)
