Three middle schools in Charlotte, North Carolina, introduce Citizen Schools' hands-on learning program for the second year this fall. Residents, Charlotte Mecklenburg school district leaders, and school officials are united in their enthusiasm for a deep partnership with Citizen Schools in a movement to take advantage of after-school time and improve the life trajectories of our young people.
At Citizen Schools, volunteers from throughout the community share what they know and love with kids in real-world projects. North Carolina's students have the opportunity to learn about Starbucks marketing, NASCAR careers, and culinary arts with Johnson & Wales.
The following individuals are leading the way for education reform in North Carolina, through out-of-school time:
Executive Director: Jerri Fatticci
Program Director: Asha Strazzero-Wild
State Coordinator: Natalie Blake
Campus Directors:
Eastway Middle School: Candice Williams
Martin Luther King Jr. Middle School: Erik Turner
Albemarle Road Middle School: Julian Rance
