The Movement Has Begun
 Thanks to all of you who voted for our idea during the first round of change.org's Ideas for Change in America contest, our proposal to mobilize citizen teachers to help kids succeed came in a close second in the education category and 28th overall, out of 7,700 entries across all issues. Nearly 30 nonprofits and bloggers endorsed our idea. The campaign inspired media coverage onWBZ-TV Boston and this one minute video put together by some students and volunteers.

What Will You Teach?
Citizen Schools partners with middle schools to expand the learning day for low-income children across the country. Since 1995, students at Citizen Schools have developed the academic and leadership skills they need to succeed in high school, college, the workplace, and civic life.
At 44 campuses in seven states, serving 3,800 students and engaging 3,200 volunteers, we mobilize a second shift of afternoon educators, who provide academic support, leadership development, and apprenticeships: hands-on projects taught by volunteer experts. Citizen Schools is at the forefront of a movement to educate children, strengthen communities, and increase access to the American Dream.
