EWARK, NJ —Citi- zen Schools, a na- tional nonprofit orga-
nization that partners with middle schools to expand the learning day, has leased 3,000 s/f for its New Jersey offices at 570 Broad in New- ark. The Berger Organiza- tion manages and operates the 15-story tower, which will house Citizen School’s development, volunteer and administrative teams. Citizen Schools mobilizes adult volunteers to help im- prove student achievement for low-income children by teaching skill-building ap- prenticeships. The organiza- tion’s programs blend these real-world learning projects with rigorous academic and leadership development ac- tivities, preparing students in the middle grades for suc- cess in high school, college, the workforce and civic life. Founded in Boston in 1995, Citizen Schools has grown into a network of 32 middle school partner sites in low- income communities across eight states. This includes three schools in Newark: the Louise A. Spencer School, Eagle Academy for Young Men and Newark Early Col- lege High School (middle school portion). Previously, Citizen Schools housed its New Jersey offices at its partner sites. “We are a growing organi- zation and needed a space to accommodate that,” said Lucy Castillo, executive di- rector of Citizen Schools New Jersey. “As a nonprofit, you can sometimes feel that large corporations don’t take you seriously, despite the impact- ful work you do. The Berger Organization made us feel like they really wanted us at 570 Broad. The customer ser- vice was great. The location, with accessibility to many of our partner organizations and transportation, made it a great choice.” According to Miles Berg- er , chairman and chief ex- ecutive officer of The Berger Organization, his firmalways has been committed to help- ing both non- and for-profit tenants in a wide range of industries prosper and grow. “We are especially dedicated to organizations that are working to strengthen our community,” he said. “Cur- rently, there exists great op-
