Job Description
414 Fellows - Marquette UniversityThe 414 Fellows program is a partnership between Marquette University and Next Door, a Milwaukee-area nonprofit organization that supports the intellectual, physical, and emotional development of children. Fellows deliver intensive literacy and educational services to students ages six weeks to three years old at Next Door. The 414 Fellows exist to further advance the literacy acquisition and neurodevelopment of predominantly low-income youth in Milwaukee to address the achievement gap often observed after comparing socioeconomic status. To contribute to this mission, 414 Fellows will engage in one-on-one serve-and-return interactions that are developmentally appropriate for the age of each child. These activities include book reading, narrating actions, rhyming, identifying and naming letters, writing, fine and gross motor play, and musical activity. Additional time in the classroom will be spent on small and large group activities that will also support these focus areas. Members will receive longitudinal training to prepare, support, and improve their effectiveness as a 414 Fellow.
