Citizen Schools

Mission Statement

Educating youth, strengthening communities...

Description

Citizen Schools is a leading national educational initiative that uniquely mobilizes thousands of adult volunteers
to help improve student achievement by teaching skill-building apprenticeships after school. Our programs blend
these real-world learning projects with rigorous academic and leadership development activities, preparing
students in the middle grades for success in high school, college, the workforce, and civic life. Launched in
Boston in 1995, Citizen Schools currently serves 3,000 students and engages 2,400 volunteers in 16 cities
nationwide.
