What is the Future Teachers Pathway Fellowship?
The Future Teachers Pathway Fellowship is a program designed by iUrban Teen where young adults have the opportunity to work part time in an elementary or a middle school to make a positive impact on young students. Fellows may have the chance to reengage with their schools for a second Fellowship experience.
What does the Fellowship entail?
Selected Fellows will have the opportunity to work directly with students in elementary schools. Activities involve tutoring, shadowing a teacher, being a recess buddy, working with small groups, and more. Fellows will receive training to help them develop professional competency. Topics covered include: asking questions and asking for feedback; business decorum and attire; team-building skills and working collaboratively. Candidates will also learn about trauma-informed care and receive culturally responsive training.
What is the duration of the Fellowship?
The fellowship is 60 hours total. Fellows will typically be placed in either a 3-4-week (10+ hours/week) or a 5-6-week (5-8 hours/week) duration (fellowship length can be adjusted to accommodate different needs and schedules).
Is this a paid fellowship?
Yes! Fellows will receive a $1,000 stipend upon completion of their fellowship (approximately $16/hour).
