 At Citizen Schools, volunteers from the community share what they know and love with young people in real-world projects. Students in New Mexico have learned about science from professionals at Sandia Labs and BioPark, banking from Wells Fargo, personal finance from New Mexico Educators Credit Union, food from General Mills, plus gardening, cooking, computers, fashion, government and many other skills!

About Citizen Schools New Mexico
In 2007, Citizen Schools inaugurated two programs in New Mexico at Grant and Wilson Middle Schools. Both are high-need schools in the center of Albuquerque, where 63% of the combined 1,388 students qualify for free or reduced price lunch.
Citizen Schools is serving more than 120 students and plans to help more than 200 youth during the coming academic year. Citizen Schools expects to expand to 6-8 New Mexico campuses in at least 3 cities by 2012.
Citizen Schools is the extended learning provider for the New Mexico Integrated Services in Schools Initiative (NMISSI), sponsored by the New Mexico Community Foundation and Atlantic Philanthropies. This initiative applies positive youth development and extended learning best practices to comprehensive school-based health programming, after-school and summer learning, and key family and student public and mentoring support.
