Our Values
At Citizen Schools, these five values guide our staff, students, teachers and volunteers, who strive to embody them in the work we do together. Explore our values and celebrate with us the ways we bring each to life.
For over 25 years, Citizen Schools has been a pioneer in educational equity.
Since opportunity, unlike talent, is not equally distributed, we have provided hands-on learning experiences that ignite curiosity, build confidence, and expand horizons. Today, we engage students in hands-on learning with career mentors, sharing best practices from our direct service work with teachers and underserved communities to scale STEM mentorship and maker-centered learning.
Join us and together we can transform education in school, after school, and across communities.
