Eight Tutor Jobs (NOW HIRING)

CYC brought Math Corps to Colorado in 2021 to provide math supports for 4th- 8th grade students. Colorado Math Corps is an AmeriCorps program with the mission of ensuring that Colorado students in 4th-8th grade who are struggling in math receive individualized support in order to improve math skills. The Math Corps program combines the power of national service with numeracy science to deliver proven approaches that help struggling learners transform into confident students – something that translates into all areas of their lives.
