Program areas at City Year

In-school servicein fiscal Year 2023, more than 98% of City Year's 1,775 full-time participants served on diverse teams in schools. Most of their 2,291,409 service hours were spent as tutors, mentors, and role models helping children in high-poverty schools stay in school and on track to graduate. As near-peers, corps members are uniquely able to help improve student attendance, behavior, and coursework - which research confirms are indicators of a student's likelihood of graduating high school. In each of City Year's 248 partner schools, the team provides academic support, attendance monitoring and incentives, positive behavior support, and after-school programming events (such as assemblies and celebrations) that improve the overall school environment. The service model helps the corps members have an impact beyond the 19,710 students reached directly through one-on-one and small group instruction. Corps members change the environment of a school by immediately changing the ratio of students to responsible, caring adults. In addition to the in-school services, more than 8,800 students were provided with after-school and school environment programs. Schools that partner with City Year are up to two to three times more likely to improve in english and math assessments, and the more time students spend with americorps members, who serve as student success coaches, the more they improve on social, emotional and academic skills that help students thrive in school and contribute to their community.
Physical serviceall City Year locations host large-scale service events throughout the Year, led by corps and staff. In fiscal Year 2023, 15,437 citizens volunteered 26,364 hours in projects including painting murals, refurbishing schools, creating play places, planting community gardens, and revitalizing community centers. A physical service project completed by a City Year led team can powerfully transform a school environment or neighborhood, both by visibly improving the space with the immediate results, and also by inspiring participants to volunteer again.
Youth civic leadership40,000 of City Year's alumni continue to serve and lead across an array of professions, including education, with more than half of alums working as teachers, adminstrators, guidance counselors and at education nonprofits, and are engaged in their communities. They share their passion for civic engagement by leading students in activities that help the participants gain a better understanding of challenges facing their communities and how they can help address them. City Year was founded on the belief that a Year of national service could serve as a civic rite of passage - a uniquely transformational life experience that, while helping transform communities in need, could bend the trajectory of an idealistic young person's life towards a lifetime of active citizenship and civic leadership.
