A NOTE TO THE COMMUNITY:
Citizen Schools has made the decision to wind down our current programmatic operations at the end of this school year, concluding on June 30, 2026. While this chapter of our program model is coming to a close, Citizen Schools as an organization is not closing. The Board and leadership are actively exploring what comes next, applying over 30 years of knowledge and resources.
We will continue to share updates as we explore how our mission will carry forward.
To stay connected, please follow us on LinkedIn.
Thank you for being part of the Citizen Schools community!
