City Year Corps

Deadline: November
Website: Link
Disciplines: Education
Years: Freshman, Sophomore, Junior, Senior, Graduate Student, Alumni

City Year has served communities and young people for more than three decades. During that time, we have evolved and grown from a small service organization founded in Boston in 1988 to a national education nonprofit working in 29 U.S. cities.

A big part of our journey has been shaped by what City Year AmeriCorps members and school-based staff have experienced and learned while serving in thousands of classrooms across the country. Our approach has also been influenced and refined by working with school and research partners to develop more effective ways to support student and school success, grounded in the science of how children learn and develop, while striving to advance educational equity.
