Citizen Schools executive director Todd Litton held the sellout crowd at the Junior League of Houston to rapt attention as he spoke on the importance of programs that extend the learning day and provide meaningful connections between middle school students and volunteer professionals.
The annual Citizen Schools luncheon, chaired by Carrie Miller and Julie Price, raised $116,000 for the expanded learning programs executed in partnership with HISD and targeting students in low-income communities.
Citizen Schools Texas launched in 2002 and currently serves 570 students and benefits from the assistance of more than 100 volunteers.
Supporters in the luncheon crowd included Citizen Schools board chair Nicole Perdue, Margaret Young, Erin Heath, Sarah Sampson, Selwyn Razor, Rich Moses, Franna Litton, Bobbie Nau and Liz Stepanian.
