In School & On Track: A National Challenge

City Year leverages the talent, energy and idealism of corps members who serve as tutors, mentors and role models to help students stay on track – and get back on track – to graduate.

City Year’s In School & On Track initiative is designed to bring City Year corps members to 50% of all of the students falling off track in City Year’s 24 U.S. locations, which will require expanding the number of corps members to 6,000 and engaging school districts, the private sector and the federal government through AmeriCorps as partners.
