EducationWorks is focused on helping children learn the positive impact they can make on their communities and the world at large in order to become outstanding citizens. Our citizenship and service learning programs emphasize the power of community service and so much more. Programs are structured to provide service to the community while at the same time relating that service to an academic area of study. For example, cutting squares to make quilts that will be donated to a homeless shelter emphasizes the value of helping those less fortunate while reinforcing math skills. As a result, students understand why they’re learning and how their new skills are used in the real world, making their impact even more powerful. Our goal is for children to become strong citizens, armed with the tools and motivation they need to make their world --indeed, our world-- a better place.
