Our people make the biggest difference
- Care Force staff have over 100 combined years of experience leading events across the country.
- Our adaptable service model and extensive event management experience allows us to design events with specific projects to engage volunteers of all ability levels.
- City Year’s inclusive and respectful culture is designed to unify diverse workforces, build team and successfully complete projects.
Team Care Force
In addition to full-time staff, Care Force has a team of Project Leaders who serve on CSX-sponsored Team Care Force based out of City Year HQ in Boston. The main function of this team is to help plan and execute our calendar of in-person and virtual service events. When in the office, Team Care Force assists staff members with event document creation, logistical prep and material procurement. When on the road, Team Care Force prepares the projects and tasks that make up each service event. During the event day, members of the Event Team, including Team Care Force, typically serve as Project Coordinators (PCs) leading volunteers in safely completing their project tasks.
For a typical in-person event, at least two Team Care Force members are on the Event Team. The Event Team consists of Care Force staff, Team Care Force and often Care Force Reserves.
Care Force Reserves
Care Force Reserves is a program that engages experienced City Year staff, alumni and currently serving AmeriCorps members to run larger/or multi-location events. Since 2018, there have been over 350 Care Force Reserves assisted on over 87 events in 64 communities.
Joining Team Care Force
Every year we are looking for a new diverse team of eight returning AmeriCorps members to serve as Project Leaders. The Team Care Force application deadlines are the same as all other returning AmeriCorps member positions within City Year.
