A Day in the Life

When you serve with City Year every day is a chance to make a difference.  No two days will be exactly alike, but here is an example of what a typical day might be like with City Year Cleveland:

8:15 am -- Meet up with your teammates and fellow corps members at the Free Stamp for Unity Rally.  Unity Rally prepares corps members for a powerful day of service through PT (physical training), daily announcements, and occasional guest speakers.

8:45-9:15 am – Travel with team on RTA to school.

9:30 am – Planning and preparation for tutoring service; orient community volunteers.

10:00 am – Work one-on-one or in small groups with selected students to help improve their reading skills and comprehension.

11:00 am  -- Prepare with teammates for Lunch Buddies

11:30 am – Lead Lunch Buddy programming for two of the lunch periods (the third period is your lunch time!)

1:00 pm – Provide homework help for first through fifth graders and/or lead a workshop for sixth, seventh and eighth graders to prepare them for high school.

2:00 pm – Prepare with teammates to lead after-school activity about the importance of recycling as part of the Starfish Program.

3:00 pm – Lead after-school activity with third and fourth graders.

5:30 pm – Team meeting to discuss the day and review the schedule for tomorrow.
