Literacy
Pittsburgh invites intern applicants for the Fall
2026 semester. Interns at Literacy Pittsburgh support the agency mission
of “Better Lives Through Learning” by serving students with goals of improving
their English, reading, writing, and math skills. Interns make a meaningful
impact while building professional skills as they work with a diverse range of
adult students and colleagues, develop lesson plans and materials,
and gain instructional experience through one-on-one and small-group instruction.

Literacy Intern

The
intern will be matched to teach, tutor, or serve as a classroom aide for
students from our English Language Learning (ELL), adult basic education
(reading, writing, and math), and/or GED/High School Equivalency (HSE)
programs. In addition to instruction, intern responsibilities include lesson
planning/prep, administrative tasks (e.g., reporting on attendance and student
progress), and completing training/professional development related to the role.
Interns may also choose a focus area in addition to teaching, planning, and administrative
duties in alignment with agency needs and individual interests. The desired intern
will work with the manager of our intern program to work out the details of the
internship including the specific schedule and responsibilities.
