Hennepin County Library (HCL) is seeking several Homework Help Lead Tutors who are passionate about serving youth and families. These Lead Tutors will manage the delivery of the K-12 Homework Help afterschool tutoring program.

HCL Homework Help is a drop-in tutoring program for youths in grades K-12 to work with adult staff and volunteers on their homework assignments in a free, safe, and welcoming space after school. The focus of this program is to provide students with one-on-one and small group support in understanding and completing the learning tasks they have been assigned by their teachers at school.
Most students who come to HCL afterschool academic support programs are recent immigrants and may be likely to encounter cultural or language barriers as they build their academic skills.
