They will be furnished with a bed, bureau, bookshelf, and desk. Most have their own bathroom. There will be a TV with cable in the common room, as well as available kitchen facilities. The school has 2 washing machines and dryers.
Each first year volunteer receives a stipend of $200 on the first day of each month August through June plus $125 for food. Second year teacher’s pay doubles to $400 a month. Teachers also receive an Americorps grant of about $5,000 at the completion of each year of the program.
Nativity provides funds for a weekly grocery allowance to be used during the week for the teachers while at school. Parents will also rotate bringing in lunch for the faculty.
Volunteers are also provided health insurance through the school by United Healthcare.
Be a part of changing the direction of a young person’s life. While no teaching experience is required, demonstrated academic achievement and selfless motivation are essential.
