City Year San Jose/Silicon Valley is celebrating its 16th year of service in Silicon Valley. City Year unites young people, ages 17 to 24, from all backgrounds for a year of full-time service, giving them the skills and opportunities to change the world.
City Year San Jose/Silicon Valley corps members provide critical services to the most in-need youth and neighborhoods. Every year, more than 2,300 high school students drop out of San Jose schools. In just one year, these teenagers may go on to commit 534 violent crimes a year and suffer $200 million in lost wages over their lifetimes, in addition to costing the San Jose community millions in health care costs and lost productivity.
You can change the course of these children’s lives by joining City Year San Jose/Silicon Valley. As a tutor, mentor and role model, you will make a difference in the lives of children and transform schools and neighborhoods, creating long term solutions to the challenges communities face.
