Who We Are
East Harlem Scholars Academies are community-based Pre-K to 12 public charter schools operated by East Harlem Tutorial Program (EHTP). EHTP began in 1958 as a children's reading group and has since grown into a multi-site after-school program for traditional public school students and a network of public charter schools focused on significantly increasing the college graduation rate in East Harlem. We are on track to serve at least 25% of East Harlem students by 2025, with enrollment for this year at approximately 2200 students in our schools and after-school programs. In 2020, 99% of our seniors were accepted to college, and our current scholars in college are on track to graduate at eight times the national average of their peers.
At EHTP we also aim to serve as an agent of change and thoughtfully contribute to the national fight for racial equity. Through our organization-wide commitment to anti-racism work, we prepare our scholars to effect change, challenge the status quo, and thrive in the world around them. As staff members, we face our own racial identities and conscious and unconscious biases. With this in mind, all of our professional development, curriculum, organizational materials, and processes are designed with the goal of racial justice. Read our racial equity statement here.
We ground all of our work in racial equity, in our core values, and in our four guiding pursuits: the Revolutionary Pursuit of Love, the Radical Pursuit of Knowledge, the Responsive Pursuit of Healing, and the Relentless Pursuit of Results. These pursuits inform and are reflected in our current four key strategic priorities: to increase high-impact, high-quality academic curriculum, programming content, staff capacity, and coaching; to embrace and advance our use of technology; to deepen our embodiment of ethical and equitable radical humanity; and to efficiently operationalize teaching, learning, community, and care.

About the Opportunity
We believe that great educational professionals make a difference for our scholars; without this, a school or program cannot succeed. The Group Leader plays an integral role in the program's success by fostering a welcoming and engaging community through effective classroom management, social-emotional learning (SEL) competencies, and team-building activities. This is to ensure we provide a well-rounded experience for all participants.
We are a K-8 program, and while we will consider your preferences for placements, our Group Leaders need to be willing and happy to work with any age range. They will ensure that all students engage in a meaningful and impactful way throughout the school year, working on weekly challenges with their assigned group, and assisting the various Activity Specialists throughout the week.
Ultimately, as a Group Leader, you play a critical role in ensuring our scholars grow and have a positive learning experience.
