Become an Academic Coach
Help our youth succeed in school.
While we’re often encouraging our youth to think long-term, we also know how important academics are to their growth and understand that school is the first place to practice lifelong skills. This is why we also provide tutoring and help with homework as part of our programs, because well-rounded growth is our goal.
Each day at On the Road starts with homework, reading, and study time. During this time, youth have the opportunity to get help from school-day teachers and Academic Coaches so that they can receive one-on-one guidance and continue to advance in their academics.
Our Academic Coaches have the opportunity to build relationships with some incredible youth, while helping them with their school work and encouraging their learning and development.
