We are all experts! In our careers, in the computer lab, on the basketball court, in the garden, or in the kitchen – YOU are an expert at something. Citizen Schools gives you the opportunity to teach what you know - in your professional career or personal pursuits - to help middle school students learn real world skills and get excited about learning. Remember that teacher who sparked a passion in you? Here’s your chance to do the same. What we are looking for: No teaching experience is necessary. The volunteer experience lasts about 12 weeks. Volunteers commit to about 3-4 hours a week which includes lesson preparation and the weekly 90 minute apprenticeship session. You will receive training, on-site orientation, and will be closely supported. Can’t commit to 12 weeks? We also invite you to attend or serve as a judge at one of our end of semester “WOW!” showcases which take place in May and December. This will give you a firsthand understanding of the amazing work that volunteer Citizen Teachers do in sharing their expertise and career paths with students and in bringing science to life. What will YOU teach?
