City Year believes that all students can succeed and that developing the skills and talents of young people contributes to strong, vibrant communities—outcomes that benefit all of us. Evolving from a community service program in one city to a national research, practice, and policy organization, City Year ensures young people have the tools, experiences, and knowledge they need to succeed in whatever path they choose.
Every day, City Year’s dedicated AmeriCorps members show up for students and add capacity to schools that need extra hands the most. They serve as student success coaches, tutors, mentors, and role models who support student holistic growth, well-being, and learning.
Your car donation will support AmeriCorps members and the six program areas that comprise the core of City Year’s efforts:
- Delivering and refining holistic school services
- Innovating school design and improvement
- Advancing education policy
- Supporting leaders and professionals
- Developing accessible and affordable pathways into teaching
- Advancing national service
