Citizen Schools, founded in 1995 by Eric Schwarz and Ned Rimer and based in Boston, Massachusetts, focuses on re-imagining the middle school experience for low-income students. Its Extended Learning Time model partners with public school districts to add roughly 400 hours of instructional time to the school day, blending academics with hands-on learning, mentorship, and structured homework. Mentors, including Citizen Teachers and AmeriCorps Teaching Fellows, support students across traditional and extended hours and help develop social and emotional skills.
