In this last week of Teacher Appreciation Month, we're shining a light on the incredible educators who fuel the heart of our mission at Citizen Schools. They are the architects of inspiration, the champions of creativity, and the catalysts for change in our classrooms. Christopher, a Citizen Schools student alumnus, shares, "The teachers that I had really started me thinking about college at a young age. They pushed me to be able to take initiative in things I did in my day-to-day life. The skills I learned at Citizen Schools have prepared me to speak out on world issues." Christopher's journey, like thousands of others, illustrate how experience-based learning can help students apply what they learn in the classroom to their daily lives and pursue a future where they can make a meaningful difference. Help us honor these remarkable educators and the thousands of students across the country whose lives they transform, by donating to Citizen Schools! Until May 31st you can double the impact of your support through a generous dollar-for-dollar match from our Board of Directors! Donate today HERE: https://lnkd.in/edfsNDt6

As we continue to celebrate Teacher Appreciation Month, your support is more important than ever in elevating teaching and learning during this unprecedented moment in education. Citizen Schools plays a pivotal role in both supporting teachers and elevating the teaching profession as highlighted recently in a compelling Op Ed on The 74 (bit.ly/4am2qjC). In the article, "It’s Time to Make Working In Schools One of the Most Desirable Career Paths," Katy Knight of the Siegel Family Endowment emphasizes the critical importance of innovative programs like ours. We're deeply honored to receive recognition for our dedication to creating a more supportive and effective environment for educators. Annie Ransom, Science and ELD Teacher on Special Assignment for Citizen Schools’ partnership with the RIO SCHOOL DISTRICT, recently told us: "One way to best support educators is to provide time and space for them to learn and dig into the planning process with an experienced coach. Citizen Schools' approach to education aligns with principles of student-centered learning, community engagement, and equity that are essential components of effective teaching." But we can't do this work alone. Your continued support is what fuels our mission to enhance teaching and learning nationwide. With your donations, we can provide vital resources and opportunities for educators to thrive in their careers. And here's the best part: this month, every donation you make will be matched by our Board of Directors, doubling the impact of your generosity. Together, let's empower educators and pave the way for brighter futures nationwide: https://lnkd.in/edfsNDt6
