Monmouth University is seeking a Lead Writing Counselor for an in-person Write on Sports (WoS) program. In partnership with the Write on Sports (WoS) organization, the School of Education at Monmouth University is offering a two week summer camp dedicated to equipping 20+ middle school students with writing skills by tying together their passion of sports with composition. The program aims at encouraging young students within the community to exercise their passion for journalism in a fun and creative educational setting. The entire camp will be in person on the campus of Monmouth University from June 20-June 23 and June 26-June 29, 2023.
