Citizen Schools
Citizen Schools was founded in 1995 to bring new solutions to the challenge of young adult education:
* more time
* more relevance
* and more caring adults.
Now a growing national network of after-school education programs for students in the middle grades (6th, 7th and 8th), their programs complement classroom learning by engaging students in hands-on learning projects led by adult volunteers after school and supported by a staff of professional educators.
Through the demonstration of our powerful impact and partnerships with out-of-school advocates, they are at the forefront of a movement to transform the learning day and improve the educational trajectories of young people across the country.
