In-School Service
Academic Support
Corps members at City Year New Hampshire who work on school-based teams provide in-class support in middle school classrooms and academically mentor at-risk students four days every week. Each school year teachers identify students who are struggling academically and corps members work one-on-one and in small groups throughout the year to improve student performance. Classroom placements depend on the need of each school, but generally include tutoring and mentoring in grades 5 through 8, and in subjects including math, science, language arts, and social studies.
After-School Programs
City Year New Hampshire corps members serve in after-school programs to provide students with a safe, structured, and engaging environment.
Youth Leadership: Young Heroes
Young Heroes is City Year’s premier youth leadership initiative. Middle school students serve 100 hours on Saturdays from January through May and earn the Gold Presidential Volunteer Service Award for their efforts.
Now serving more than 1,000 youth nationally, the vision of the Young Heroes program is to inspire and empower youth to be courageous, compassionate and active citizens in their communities. The program provides middle school students with a structured, team-based opportunity to discuss pressing social issues and perform community service.
