Volunteers mentor middle school students with us in the classroom!

Over 4-6 weeks, volunteers work with students to complete a hands-on experiential learning project that brings learning to life.

Volunteers will:

Work with small groups of students to create a polished group project.
Provide insight into your career by connecting project skills to learnings from your career.
Support students' presentation skills, critical thinking, collaborative problem solving, and provide feedback on student’s work.
Volunteers work closely with Citizen Schools staff and teachers to mentor students along this hands-on learning journey.
Volunteers commit to attending a virtual training session and 4-6 hour-long classroom sessions. Sessions are scheduled on weekdays between 9-4:30 PM ET.

At Citizen Schools, we believe that equity begins with opportunity. To close the opportunity gap in education, we need systems change, which requires work at multiple levels. We bring students hands-on learning projects with career mentors after school, coach and train teachers to provide these opportunities during school, and share capacity, resources & best practices with other communities.
