Role Overview
L2L Trainers are the instructional leaders of each program. They teach student tutors the skills and strategies they need to mentor peers and help build a thriving school community.

- Lead mid-program review sessions to help tutors troubleshoot challenges, share strategies, and celebrate progress.
- Work with L2L Coordinators to adapt training to local needs and keep delivery on track.
- Support tutor-student matching and uphold L2L’s standards of safety, empathy, and academic support.

Flexible Schedule
Trainer schedules are designed to be flexible. Most schools require about 9-10 on-site visits throughout the school year, plus preparation and communication time. Visits are generally one hour in length and occur at key program milestones rather than every week.
Trainers plan their schedule in collaboration with schools and local partners. Trainers receive an honorarium for each program delivered.
Our Commitment
L2L is committed to hiring individuals whose lived and/or professional experience aligns with the diverse student communities we impact.
