Calling All Citizens

Citizen Schools has launched a new animated short!

Produced in partnership with Fablevision, this short film tells the story of Citizen Schools and Citizen Teachers through the eyes of a child. Award-winning children's book author and illustrator Peter H. Reynolds shows us what's possible when communities come together to share their love of learning with young students. Click the picture to view in a new browser window:

Citizen Schools connects communities. We bring volunteer adults to new neighborhoods, engage local businesses with young people, bring families closer to their children's education, and bring community resources into schools that need support. You can help build this movement to educate youth and strengthen communities. Whether you want to become a Citizen Teacher, enroll your child in one of our programs, connect your school to the Citizen Schools network, join our staff of out-of-school education professionals, invest in our growth, or change education policy, you have a valuable role to play. Learn how!
