About City Year

City Year is an education-focused organization founded in 1988 dedicated to helping students and schools succeed. City Year partners with public schools in urban, high poverty communities across the U.S. and through international affiliates in the U.K. and Johannesburg, South Africa. Diverse teams of City Year AmeriCorps members provide high-impact student, classroom, and school-wide support, to help students stay in school and on track to graduate from high school, ready for college and career success. A proud member of the AmeriCorps national service network, City Year is made possible by support from the Corporation for National and Community Service, school district partnerships, and private philanthropy from corporations, foundations, and individuals.

City Year has earned Charity Navigator’s highest rating since 2003, certifying our commitment to accountability, transparency, and responsible fiscal management. Only 1% of charities have received this distinction for nine or more consecutive years, placing City Year among the most trustworthy nonprofits in America. City Year is also a five time winner of the Fast Company Social Capitalist Award and has been recognized in leading business and management books including Built to Last and Forces for Good: The Six Practices of High-Impact Nonprofits.

Who We Serve:

Nearly one million students give up on school each year – and 50 percent of those dropouts come from just over 10 percent of schools. City Year AmeriCorps members serve where the need is greatest. Of the 242 schools we serve, three quarters are among the lowest performing five percent in their state.

How We Work:

Partner with public schools – We work in partnership with school districts to support their goals and provide additional support – the human capital – required to make a difference with students who are at risk of dropping out. City Year AmeriCorps members (CMs) serve full-time in grades 3 through 10.

Target high-need schools and students – Research shows that students who are at the highest-risk to drop out can be identified as early as sixth grade. AmeriCorps members receive more than 300 hours of professional training to intervene based on three early warning indicators, the ABC’s – poor attendance, behavior, and course failure in math and English.

Harness the power of young people – City Year hires and trains diverse teams of young adults – 18 to 25 year olds – to give a year of full-time service in schools. Younger than the teachers but older than pupils, corps members are uniquely positioned to form a strong bond with students and help them succeed. AmeriCorps members provide at least 1,700 hours of service each year.

Our Model:

Whole School Whole Child – City Year’s school-based model is called Whole School Whole Child. AmeriCorps members tutor students identified as at-risk of dropping out, serve as an additional resource for teachers in classrooms, and lead afterschool programs and school-wide initiatives to improve school culture. Each school where we serve has at least one team of 6-12 AmeriCorps members, instantly increasing the ratio of adults: children in the building.
