The benefits of joining the City Year corps include gaining life-long friendships and a sense of pride, as well as new perspectives and strong leadership skills. Not to mention the priceless smile of a child who has learned how to read. As a City Year corps member, you will also receive other benefits that make your year of service even more rewarding.

"Serving with City Year changed my life forever. There is no experience that I know of that can provide an individual with a better education and understanding of our nation's social problems. Your City Year allows you to grow as an individual and improve your professional and leadership skills, while utilizing your strengths to benefit the children and communities you serve."
-Michaela Mistretta, Corps Member
