As a tutor and mentor with City Year, you will make a difference in children’s lives and help develop a new generation of leaders. City Year Greater Philadelphia service programs include in-school and after-school service, youth leadership, and community engagement.
IN-SCHOOL SERVICE PROGRAMS
When serving in the schools of Philadelphia, you will provide one-on-one and small group tutoring. You will help students who may not receive enough attention to succeed academically due to class size or other class dynamics.
AFTER-SCHOOL SERVICE PROGRAMS
City Year Greater Philadelphia corps members serve in after-school programs to provide students with a safe, structured, and engaging environment.
Camp City Year - Camp City Year is a positive day camp experience conducted during spring break, providing assistance to working parents while teaching the core City Year values of diversity, service and responsibility.

YOUTH LEADERSHIP
One of the important ways City Year Greater Philadelphia corps members share their belief in service and their commitment to helping children is by leading programs that teach Philadelphia elementary, middle school, and high school students about their ability to make a difference.
Starfish Corps - In the Starfish Corps, third through sixth graders experience a “mini-City Year,” learning about diversity, the environment, world hunger and conflict resolution in this literacy-based service program.
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.
City Heroes - City Heroes is a weekend leadership development and social awareness program for high school students, who learn to lead others in tackling issues that directly affect their communities.

COMMUNITY TRANSFORMATION
