"City Year has been key partner in our success. You [corps members] make a difference in the lives of the students you serve."- Keith Bell, Deputy Superintendent Columbus City Schools
We would like to thank everyone who attended our Opening Day Ceremony and watched as 25 Corps Members pledged their commitment to our Columbus Schools and Neighborhoods. This commitment would not be possible without the support from our community.
We would also like to thank our speakers:
Mayor Michael B Coleman
Columbus City Council President Andy Ginther
Keith Bell, Deputy Superintendent, Columbus City Schools
Bob Sommers, Director, Governor's Office of 21st Century Education
Bill Russell, Board Member, Ohio Commission on Service and Volunteerism
for graciously setting aside their time to speak to our Columbus Corps Members about the importance of leadership and service. City Year's Opening Day was a huge success in kicking off our year and we hope that you will continue to show your support as we continue on another powerful year of service.
