Following a successful pilot program started in January 2018, the Learning Club Academy Teacher Internship is expanding to three sites. By partnering with Kansas City, Kansas high school students, the Learning Club Academy 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 Academy selected more than 70 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 most need it.
“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
“The Learning Club is life changing, fun, and positive. This program is not only great for those who want to become educators or social workers but also for many who wish to make a difference in a child’s life.” -- Lizbeth Salinas
