Citizen Schools Employer Reviews

A typical day begins with a staff meeting about information that will be due during the week and the schedule during the week. For three hours after school I help students with homework and tutoring, teach a lesson and facilitate recess. I keep in contact with families, volunteer teachers and school day teachers to work in the best interests of the – more... students academically and socially. My co-workers are other teachers who are very supportive and always wiling to share best practices. The toughest part of the job is fitting all the lesson planning, contacting outside resources, and meetings with the 27 hours I am allotted each week. The most enjoyable part of the job is being able to help low income middle school students see how important college is and to begin to work towards that at this age. – less

A typical day at work was never the same as the last. I learned how to deal with different individuals my age. I personal knew some of the senior management, because they were so involved in that time. My co-workers were easy to get along with and I still have fond memories of them today. The hardest part of the job at that time was trying to stay professional – more... when you're not in a professional situation. The most enjoyable part of the job was certainly the students that we taught every Saturday. – less

This job allows you to work with middle school students in a very unique way. Through training and professional development we are given tools to help our students know and reach their potential.

I can honestly say that I enjoyed working for Citizen Schools. Our typical day began when the school day ended, but working with the students and seeing their growth made time fly.

This place is full of culture and energy. The atmosphere is a fun experience and I love going and sitting on the big red stairs.

Volunteered since 8th grade and it helped me become a more outgoing and interactive person. Great environment full of supportive and positive energy.
