  • Be able to travel to schools throughout the St. Louis area
  • Be able to carry and transport program equipment and supplies
  • Be able to follow a structured curriculum and lesson plan
  • Communicate clearly with children, school personnel, and office staff
  • Complete required training and applicable background-screening requirements
Helpful Experience
Experience in any of the following areas is helpful but not required:
  • Teaching, substitute teaching, tutoring, or classroom assistance
