City Year Patch

Our Work in Los Angeles

Four out of five third graders in Southern California can't read at grade level.  70% of students from Southern California's 2,000 public schools are English language learners. And due to the lack of additional resources students that do not receive additional education support such as attending after school programs are 57% more likely to drop out of school and 27% more likely to become arrested.

You can change the course of these children’s lives by joining City Year Los Angeles. As a tutor and mentor, you will work in under-resourced neighborhoods where you will become a powerful role model to youth and help create solutions for community problems.
