City Year
Boston
While Boston’s nickname is The Hub, known for being a vibrant center for academia, business, tech and medicine, some students in Boston face significant challenges every day. Together we can help students build on their strengths and thrive.
What Do We Do?
We are City Year. We are challenging the educational status quo with tenacity, passion and empathy. We create environments where young people belong, so they can fulfill their potential.
Boston, with all its history, is also a modern, creative, and energetic city – hub for tech & biotech, education, and more. A great place for young professionals to explore.
There are hundreds of highly-skilled AmeriCorps members working with students throughout Boston.
Join our list to receive powerful stories, opportunities to volunteer, and information on education equity in our community. We promise we’ll only hit your inbox once a month.
