About Us:
Citizen Schools is a leading national nonprofit provider of out-of-school learning programs for students in the middle grades--6th, 7th and 8th. We uniquely mobilize caring adults of all pursuits and professions to be full partners in education. Seizing the opportunity of out-of-school time - 80 percent of a child's waking hours - our adult volunteers tap their expertise to teach hands-on apprenticeships that have real-world relevance and emphasize marketable skills for the new economy. Our programs integrate these authentic learning projects with activities that build academic, leadership, and study skills, preparing adolescents for achievement in high school, college, the workforce and civic life. We currently serve more than 2,000 youth and 1,500 volunteers across the country.
