The Council of Champions brings together a diverse group of leaders in the greater Boston area in support of Citizen Schools to help with visibility, engagement, development and apprenticeships. The Champions Council is a peer group of can-do, engaged citizens that serve as ambassadors for the mission and goals of Citizen Schools.  Champions Council members are expert mobilizers, connectors, fundraisers and public leaders who are committed to Boston's youth and the sustainability of the Citizen Schools program.
