About the Company

At City Year, we believe that all students can succeed and that developing the skills and mindsets of children and young adults contributes to strong, vibrant communities—outcomes that benefit all of us. Many students lack access to learning environments and resources they need to thrive in school and in life, due to systemic inequities that disproportionately affect students of color and students growing up in low-income households. As tutors, mentors and role models, our AmeriCorps members help children stay in school and on track, and transform schools and communities across the United States, as well as through international affiliates in Johannesburg, South Africa and in the United Kingdom.

What We Do: Supporting students and schools City Year AmeriCorps members serve in schools all day, every day, preparing students with the social, emotional and academic skills and mindsets to succeed in school and in life. Developing civic leaders City Year AmeriCorps members not only make a difference in the lives of students they serve but also acquire valuable skills that help them and prepare them to be leaders in their communities and their careers. Sharing promising practices As City Year continues to innovate alongside our school and district partners, we aim to share what we are learning and contribute to a broader conversation about how to ensure access to learning opportunities for all students.
