IN-SCHOOL SERVICE PROGRAMS
When serving in the schools of Columbia, you will provide one-on-one and small group tutoring. You will help students who may not receive enough attention to succeed academically due to class size or other class dynamics.
AFTER-SCHOOL SERVICE PROGRAMS
City Year Columbia corps members serve in after-school programs to provide students with a safe, structured, and engaging environment.
Camp City Year
Camp City Year is a positive day camp experience conducted during winter break, providing assistance to working parents while teaching the core City Year values of diversity, service and responsibility.

One of the important ways City Year Columbia corps members share their belief in service and their commitment to helping children is by leading programs that teach Columbia elementary, middle school, and high school students about their ability to make a difference.
Young Heroes
Young Heroes is City Year’s premier youth leadership initiative. Middle school students serve 100 hours on Saturdays from January through May and earn the Gold Presidential Volunteer Service Award for their efforts.

COMMUNITY TRANSFORMATION
In addition to helping schools and students reach new heights, City Year corps members transform communities through physical service projects such as:
- Painting murals
- Planting gardens
- Creating playspaces
- Renovating schools
- Refurbishing community centers
By engaging community members, corporate partners, and civic leaders in this work, corps members help share the power of service.
