Culture

IMAGINE-RECRUIT-TRANSFORM-INSPIRE

PITWgrayAt City Year, we define idealism as “the belief that you can change the world, and the passion, skills, and courage to do it.”  Everything we do at City Year is grounded in this concept and the idea that each of us can make a difference.

To inspire others, share the power of service, and promote the value that each of us can make a difference, City Year corps members proudly wear the City Year uniform. With the uniform, City Year corps members express their full-time commitment to solving social problems, training outstanding new leaders and building a more beloved and just community and nation.
