Every 26 seconds a student in America drops out of a public high school.
As a City Year corps member, you will help students K-12 stay on track - and get back on track - to graduate by helping them improve course performance, attendance and behavior. This school-based service is at the heart of City Year's Whole School, Whole Child approach to helping children and schools succeed.
City Year teams partner with local schools to:
- Provide one-on-one or small group tutoring
- Assist teachers in classrooms
- Organize student councils and service clubs
- Lead recreational activities and art projects
- Teach social issues curricula about community building, the environment, poverty and violence

“I know that at City Year, I can’t have a bad day. My kids count on me each and every day to be a role model – to know what they need even when they don’t tell me.“
– Jenna Weakland, Corps Member
