Program Schedule:
Monday-Thursday 2:30-5:30 Dear apprentices, families and Citizen Teachers:
Citizen Schools at Orchard Gardens is launching our first year and we are so excited! We have an amazing group of students, staff, teachers and volunteers who will spend Monday through Thursday together focusing on student achievement. Every week, students will have an opportunity to foster personal and academic success through the following:
- Students in Citizen Schools will receive academic coaching to focus on homework and practicing organizational skills which will help them achieve in their classes.
- Twice a week, students participate in exciting hands-on learning experiences called apprenticeships in which they learn real-life skills such as architecture, law, cooking, photography and more. Apprenticeships are taught by community volunteers and Citizen Schools staff.
- Students spend much of their time on campus with their team. Student teams are like a home base for students; a place where they can feel comfortable and known develop social and team-work skills.
If you are interested in enrolling your child in our program, learning more about how you can volunteer with or join Citizen Schools' staff please feel free to stop by our office at Orchard Gardens or contact us. We look forward to seeing you!
— Dorie Withey & Hannah Smith, Citizen Schools

"Citizen Schools helped me this year because I was able to explore the business world where adults have jobs and deal with everyday problems. I got a chance to see if I will have a job that I have always wanted and to start thinking about the future." -Apprentice from a first year Citizen Schools program
