DISCOVER AMERICORPS

BRAD HERTZBERG
Hi! I'm Brad Hertzberg and I am from the great city of Chicago. Last May, I graduated from DePauw University in Greencastle, IN. I majored in Sociology and minored in Education Studies. One of my passions has always been working with children and teaching them. I have worked as a counselor for a day camp since I was 16 and I tutored first and second graders for all four years of college. Through these experiences, I always knew I wanted to combine these passions and Literacy*Americorps provided me with the opportunity. I work at Village Academy in Delray Beach, FL through a program called Village Readers. It is an after school program in which I tutor kindergarten through fifth graders in the afternoon and during the evening, I teach a beginning Adult ESOL class. Working with adults and children through a family literacy program has proved to be a truly remarkable experience!
