As a tutor and mentor with City Year Louisiana, you will make a difference in children’s lives and help the next generation of young leaders and strengthen Louisiana's communities. City Year Louisiana service programs include school-based service and community engagement.
School-Based Service
Corps members serve in schools as tutors, mentors, role models and leaders of after-school programs. As a City Year corps member, you will help students stay on track - and get back on track to graduate - by helping 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 schools and students succeed. Through City Year’s Whole School, Whole Child service model, you will work with schools to provide structured academic support, create in-school and after-school programs, and generate positive school climate.
Currently, City Year Louisiana corps member teams serve in seven schools throughout the Baton Rouge and New Orleans areas:
- In Baton Rouge:
- Magnolia Woods Elementary School
- Progress Elementary School
- Glen Oaks Park Elementary
- Broadmore Middle
- In New Orleans:
- Walter L.Cohen High School
- John McDonogh High School
- George Washington Carver High School
Community Transformation
City Year Louisiana corps members participate in service projects throughout the year. Projects range from small projects like passing out fire safety information to residents in Baton Rouge, to large projects like transforming elementary schools in New Orleans. For information about how groups of employees or conventions can become involved with physical service in Baton Rouge or New Orleans, please contact Bethany Housman.
