Since studies have shown that students are more likely to engage in dangerous behaviors during after-school hours, City Year corps members serve in after-school programs to provide students with a safe, structured, and engaging alternative.
Corps members lead the following activities in after-school programs:
- social enrichment lessons on hunger, health and safety, environmental awareness, poverty and civics
- service activities that benefit the community
- making masks to learn about cultures from around the worldÂ
- organization of newspaper clubs

Each winter and spring, corps members organize and lead Camp City Year, a vacation program that engages elementary and middle school children in recreational games and fun learning activities, while also exposing them to the ideas of diversity, service, and responsibility.
At Camp City Year, Corps members lead children in activities such as:
- art projects
- cultural games
- local neighborhoods exploration
- trash pick-up contests
Each Camp City Year is based on a week-long theme that may highlight cultural or environmental awareness, and culminates in a day of theme-based service.
