The City Year program is accepting applications for Corps Member positions. Below you will find a brief description of what City Year involves. More information can be found at their website - cityyear.org. Please pass along to your students who might be interested.
At City Year's 21 locations across the United States, teams of diverse young people called corps members serve full-time in schools for 10 months working to improve student attendance, behavior and course performance in English and math.
As tutors, mentors and role models, corps members are uniquely able to help students and schools succeed through:
Academic Support: Provide one-on-one or small group tutoring before, during and after school
Attendance and Positive Behavior Encouragement: Lead energetic morning greetings, make attendance and positive phone calls home and lead mentor groups
Community and School Improvements: Organize and lead activities, celebrations and projects to improve the community and school environment which includes performing physical service such as: painting murals, planting community gardens, renovating schools and refurbishing community centers
