College and beyond!

My name is Tyrone Tyson and I am completely invested in building a long-term educational partnership with the school!

Citizen Schools helps prepare under-served students for achievement and leadership in high school, college, the workforce, and civic life.  Now, I know that not all of our students are the same kind of student that I was in school, but I am driven to give every Citizen Schools student the same love of learning that I experienced. That is why I am especially invested in our apprenticeship program.  When we give our apprentices a chance to engage and learn in meaningful ways, they respond with immense enthusiasm and effort, while enjoying what they are learning!  

A love of learning is also inspired by caring and committed teachers who are invested in their students' success.  We work with our students on a daily basis and the talented staff here at the Revere campus is one of the strongest teams with which I have ever worked. A few key contributions that we are happy to bring to Revere this year:  

• A talented staff of seven caring adults to work with 72 youth.  Two of us will be in the main office full-time. 
• A dynamic Mon.-Thurs. program (3:55-6:30pm), which includes homework time (AIM), a study skills curriculum (School Navigation), skill-based apprenticeships taught by citizens in the community (solar cars, ballroom dancing, hands on banking, and more), as well as time for sports and recreation. 
• Financial resources through public grants, foundation support, corporate sponsors, and individual donors.

I encourage you to come take a look for yourself. Please feel free to contact me by phone to talk more about our program or to schedule a campus visit. We would be happy to welcome you to the Citizen Schools family!

Sincerely yours,

Tyrone Tyson
