| Ways to help | Catalyst Career MentorCareer Mentors support teachers as they deliver a Catalyst project experience by visiting the class 4-6 times over the course of a 6-week project. Using a blended learning model, Catalyst features relevant, locally connected projects where students develop solutions to real world challenges, including Climate Science, Metabolism and Sound.Career Pathway VideoThese pre-recorded videos share career journeys from real-world professionals, helping to expand students' ideas for their possible futures. Volunteers pre-record videos designed for middle school students to share their career pathways and passion for their role/industry.Apprenticeship Citizen TeacherCitizen Teachers are career mentors who will co-teach an apprenticeship that meets once per week for 10 weeks. Students will be introduced to new career pathways while also learning 21st century skills based on curriculum co-created by Citizen Schools and existing partners. Apprenticeships culminate in a student showcase of work. |

| How you help | Citizen Schools apprenticeships give volunteers a deeply meaningful opportunity to make a difference—and build real professional skills at the same time. These apprenticeships transform lives, inspire careers and set students on a path of learning. |
