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 2018 was 74.6% – marking a 22.5% 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.

OUR GRADUATION IS THIS FRIDAY!! ❤️❤️
This has been a standout year - we adapted to the pandemic by serving virtually in 6 CMSD schools, and we expanded to a new partnership with 2 teams serving Breakthrough charter schools. Our corps served the majority of their year online before transitioning during the 4th quarter to hybrid in-person learning. Come join our graduation class of corps members in celebrating our accomplishments on zoom!
