About Team Read At Team Read, we believe every child is capable and deserves to become a great reader, and every young adult should have access to meaningful paid work experience. For over 25 years, we’ve been closing educational opportunity gaps through our unique after‑school and summer program that pairs striving 2nd to 4th grade students with caring high school reading coaches for a powerful year of peer tutoring that dramatically impacts them both. Annually, we recruit and train about 400 teen reading coaches who are paired with student readers for one‑to‑one tutoring across four public school districts in the Puget Sound region – Seattle, Highline, Renton, and Tukwila. Team Read is committed to growing educational equity and implementing anti‑racist practices, through our programs and as an organization. We do this in partnering with and impacting school systems, by increasing access and opportunity for youth who are furthest from educational justice and through the intentional selection of school partners and program participants. Benefits Team Read offers robust benefits. We offer very generous paid time off, including 80 hours of PTO in the first year of employment, 11 paid holidays, and an additional 10 paid days off during school breaks. We also provide 1 hour of paid sick time for every 40 hours worked. Additional benefits include 100% premium coverage for employees on medical, dental and vision, and an opt‑in Simple IRA with a 3% match (after trial period). This is a hybrid role, expected to spend some time working from home, some time in the Team Read office, and some time visiting Team Read sites, partners, and supporters. The Team Read office is located at the Seattle Public School District (SPS) headquarters, in the “SoDo” neighborhood of Seattle in the beautiful Pacific Northwest. This site offers the opportunity to be part of a larger community of people committed to public education and to work closely with SPS personnel who partner with Team Read. #J-18808-Ljbffr Team Read
