We are expecting almost all HWS Corps tutoring efforts with local elementary school and middle school students to be in-person (on school based sites) for Fall 2022, but we cannot be 100 percent confident that there won’t be virtual components or that we won’t have to return to a virtual option. If we need to return to virtual, there will be different protocols and processes than when in-person, but the focus, as always, will be on offering meaningful literacy, academic, and mentoring support to local youth.
Applicants should keep in mind that this position will involve working in close proximity to children under 12 may or may not be vaccinated. Therefore, all HWS Corps participants will be required to follow the safety policies of the school/program where they will be placed, which may include remaining fully masked while on the premises and/or being vaccinated.
