Join the Corps

“I joined City Year because I feel we are in a downward spiral of impersonal relations which has blinded us to some of the problems in our society.  It is more important and meaningful to do something different.  We have to think about, talk about, and fix our problems rather than ignore them.  It is time to get out and get dirty.” 

 - Nick Barretto, City Year New Hampshire Corps Member
