Description

City Year helps students and schools succeed, while preparing the next generation of civically engaged leaders who can work across lines of difference. Diverse teams of City Year AmeriCorps members provide support to students, classrooms and the whole school. City Year AmeriCorps members are inspiring young adults, ages 17-25, who share a commitment to a cause greater than themselves. While our corps members come from all walks of life, they bring to their service experience similar characteristics: they are deeply empathetic, they are strong at building relationships, and they bring their belief that all students can succeed.

NOTE: Start and end dates listed are approximate. Actual start and end dates vary by site. Contact our Recruitment Department at joinus@cityyear.org for further support.

City Year is available to all, without regard to race, color, origin, gender, political affiliation, disability,
