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.
