Admissions timeline
City Year is currently accepting applications. Once you apply, you should hear from us within two-three business days and receive a decision within two weeks.
Three short answer questions
You’ll be asked to answer three short answer questions about why you’re interested in serving with City Year, what experience you have working with someone who has a different identity from your own and how you have worked on a team to accomplish a shared goal.
One professional reference
We recommend using a former or current manager, teacher/professor, coach or mentor. References cannot be friends or family members. You’ll need their contact info; we'll email them directly, and they’ll be asked to fill out a short reference form.
Meet with your recruiter
When you start an application, one of our recruiters will reach out to you. We recommend you schedule a 1:1 with your recruiter. They can help you decide on a location that’s right for you, support you with filling out the application and talk to you about your goals.
Schedule your interview
Qualified candidates will be invited to schedule an interview with a City Year staff member. We use Calendly for scheduling, which allows you to pick a time that works best with your schedule. Interviews are done via phone or Teams and last approximately 35 minutes.
Make sure your reference is complete
To receive an admissions decision from City Year, you must have a completed valid recommendation form. References cannot be friends or family members.
