Is it mandatory to attend the orientation and all four days of staff training?

YES! This training will provide information that will help you be successful as a tutor and will assist you to obtain employment in the future.

Tutors are paid a stipend for the four day training and 4 weeks of work. In the past, tutors have been paid a little over $500 for the summer.

Unfortunately, the summer school hours conflict.

Talk to your parents or guardian and see if you are able to take a vacation or attend camp before or after the summer school session. You cannot miss more than 2 days of work during the 5 weeks (no exceptions).

Yes, if you are 14 or 15 years old. Once you are hired, you will need to obtain a work permit before the first day of training. The Youth Job Center will provide the tutor with an "Intent to Hire" letter. You should be able to obtain the permit from an issuing officer at your school.
