Full Summary: No summary paragraph submitted.

Match has recently partnered with the University of Chicago Crime Lab to work with some of the lowest performing schools in Chicago as part of a two-year clinical study researching effective ways to reduce violent crimes and drive academic performance in adolescent males.  Consider committing a year to the Match Corps, a one-year urban education service fellowship. Corps members volunteer full-time in struggling district schools as tutors and mentors for a small caseload of students.

Match Corps serves Boston and Lawrence in Massachusetts in addition to Chicago.

Match recruits from all majors; candidates do not need to have a background in education. Match seeks candidates with strong content backgrounds – math, science, English, history, etc. — and those who share our passion for social justice and education reform.
