Share your passion with middle schoolers!

Save to Favorites

Do you have a passion or expertise you'd like to share with others? Or have you ever wondered what it'd be like to be a teacher? Volunteering with Citizen Schools allows you to share what you love with middle school students living in under-resourced neighborhoods.

By working with students on a project from the Citizen Schools curriculum library, enable the next generation of lawyers, engineers or artists! Set students with limited access to opportunities on a long-term path to success through mentoring and hands-on learning. No previous teaching experience required.

This opportunity would occur at a middle school site, 1.5 hours per week for 10 weeks. School locations include William Sheppard Middle School, Joseph George Middle School and Renaissance Academy I & II in East San Jose.

The experience includes:

• Pre-written curriculum in a variety of subjects
• Training and school site orientation
• Staff partner to co-teach and support lesson planning
• Additional time spent preparing for each session
• A final "science fair" style presentation and event, called a WOW!

We are actively recruiting interested volunteers for the Fall semester: September 2018 - December 2018.

About Citizen Schools: Since 1995, Citizen Schools has been providing opportunities for adolescents to work side by side with experts to explore new fields, learn new skills, and build a foundation for their future. We partner with low-income communities that need additional support and resources. Our extended learning time program supports academic achievement in core subjects like English Language Arts and Mathematics, while building important 21st Century and Social Emotional skills through real-world learning experiences. Students who participate in Citizen Schools gain an additional 3 months of learning over the course of a year and are 25% more likely to enroll in college than low income students nationally.
