"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."
This is just a small excerpt from the Citizen Schools website. We encourage parents, teachers and community members to peruse this site, because it provides our mission statement, our history and the progess we have seen since its inception in 1994. The link for the Citizen Schools website is listed below. Please feel free to explore and enjoy!
