Academic Mentor Job Description

Oakland Leaf Foundation is a highly regarded leader in the fields of youth development and out-of-school time learning. We facilitate culturally relevant out-of-school time programming for approximately 1,000 K-12 students through seven after-school programs at public elementary and middle schools across East Oakland, one paid internship program for high school students, and two 5-week summer camps - one for elementary children and one for middle school youth. Our programming emphasizes social and emotional learning, creative expression, critical thinking, leadership development, social justice, college and career readiness, and includes a diverse range of enrichment opportunities including S.M. activities, sports, poetry, visual arts, dance, literacy, community impact projects, and more.

We are a collection of educators, artists, creatives, athletes, activists, life enthusiasts, and above all, passionate supporters of youth in our shared communities. The Academic Mentor prepares and provides in-person academic instruction to elementary or middle school students in one of seven Oakland Leaf After-School programs. Academic Instruction includes homework support and literacy intervention. The Academic Mentor will implement weekly lesson plans that engage the youth, are age-appropriate, and meet the high-quality standards of Oakland Leaf's mission.

The Academic Mentor will provide two 1-hour daily academic sessions that assist elementary or middle school students with homework and academic success. Each session will be with two different groups of students. The Academic Mentor will also implement Oakland Leaf standards for managing the classroom, including visible daily agendas, community agreements, and set up and manage consistent structures, routines, and protocols for youth to follow. The Academic Mentor will respond with a warm-demander stance when redirecting youth behavior and complete all administrative tasks on a daily and/or weekly basis, including but not limited to student attendance, monthly reports, surveys, etc. The Academic Mentor will participate in mandatory staff meetings and trainings when scheduled. The Academic Mentor will also provide 48 semester college units or pass the Instructional Aide exam and have the ability to manage and support a group of 20 elementary or middle school students. The Academic Mentor will work in normal school and office conditions and will be required to work some nights for events. The Academic Mentor will be a part-time, seasonal position, working Monday through Friday, 1 PM to 6:30 PM for 180 work days from August 12, 2024, through May 29, 2025, excluding school holidays and breaks. The Academic Mentor will be paid $20 to $25 per hour, depending on experience. Oakland Leaf Foundation is an equal opportunity employer and will not discriminate against any individual, employee, or application for employment on the basis of race, color, marital status, religion, age, sex, sexual orientation, national origin, handicap, or any other legally protected status recognized by federal, state, or local law.
