John Werner '92 (Dorchester, Mass.) has been named executive director of Citizen Schools Boston. Citizen Schools is a national network of after-school "apprenticeship education" programs for students in the sixth, seventh, and eighth grades. Werner will lead nine Citizen Schools' program sites, and his primary responsibilities will be to promote a culture of school achievement and to raise the visibility and impact of Citizen Schools' hands-on learning classes. He will oversee 75 full- and part-time staff serving 800 youth in the city. "I want to make Boston the best city to grow up in," said Werner, "I think Citizen Schools and our business and community partners can play a significant role in making that happen."
