Support students in Cleveland
We are City Year. We are challenging the educational status quo with tenacity, passion and empathy. We create environments where young people feel like they belong, so they can fulfill their potential.
In 2019, Cleveland became just the fourth city in the country to be named a Say Yes to Education chapter.
While the graduation rate for the Class of 2019 was 78.2% – marking a 26% increase since 2010 – much work is still left to do. More than 60% of the district’s students are still reading below grade level.
We partner with educators while supporting, mentoring and lifting up our students so that they are able to fully take advantage of their drive and skill sets.

The first step in making your dreams come true is choosing your high school !
——
🎉ATTENTION ALL PARENTS ( CAREGIVERS) AND EIGHTH GRADE SCHOLARS
CMSD's High School selection portal opened today! 🎉
——
This allows eighth graders and their families to begin selecting high schools for next school year.
Under The Cleveland Plan for education reform, CMSD allows students to attend any school they and their families choose, provided that space is available and, in a few cases, the students meet admissions criteria.

November is #NativeAmericanHeritageMonth as well as #NationalPictureBookMonth; here are some great books for young readers by Indigenous authors who illuminate stories that embrace their cultures.
@cityyearcle Community Partnership Manager @tim_r_lewis led #teamday at @ridallgreenpartnership this morning. Our Corps Members learned about themselves, urban agriculture, and how to continue to utilize the experiences in their lives to enhance the service they provide in our community.
