Description of Program :
Citizen Schools partners with middle schools to expand the
learning day for low-income children across the country. Since
1995, students at Citizen Schools have developed the academic and
leadership skills they need to succeed in high school, college,
the workplace, and civic life.
At 37 campuses in seven states, serving 4,400 students and engaging 4,000 volunteers, we mobilize a second shift of afternoon educators, who provide academic support, leadership development, and apprenticeships: hands-on projects taught by volunteer experts. Citizen Schools is at the forefront of a movement to educate children, strengthen communities, and increase access to the American Dream.
