Citizen Schools partners with middle schools to expand the learning day for children in low-income communities across the country. By drawing thousands more citizens into schools each year, we're promoting student achievement, transforming schools, and re-imagining education in America. Since its founding in 1995, Citizen Schools has been bringing more time, more talented adults, and more relevant learning experiences to middle-school students in low-income neighborhoods. We provide: - Extended learning time for middle-school students in 18 cities coast to coast - Hands-on learning taught by AmeriCorps educators and volunteer experts from all fields, from science to law to finance and community service - Deep partnerships to help transform schools - A fulfilling volunteer experience that allows ordinary people to make a real difference for children By getting citizens off the sidelines and into schools each year, we're closing the achievement gap and increasing access to the American Dream.
