Cleveland’s revitalized downtown, lakefront park and world-class museums make this low-key Midwestern city a cool place to be. For more than two decades, City Year AmeriCorps members have served Cleveland’s schools, helping students to thrive.
While Cleveland is widely known for being a vibrant center for academia, business, tech and medicine, many students in Cleveland face significant challenges every day. As the largest school district in Cleveland, the Cleveland Metropolitan School District serves more than 15,000 students across 125 schools.
I walked into my service year with my mind open and a passion for service and quickly realized that I was apart of something much bigger than myself. My service experience has given me far more than I could have ever given. Anyone can serve, in any way.

Your corps experience
City Year is a key partner to the Cleveland Metropolitan School District in creating equitable learning opportunities for all students and develop the city’s future leaders. AmeriCorps members support teachers and staff in delivering instruction that serves the development of the whole child and is responsive to the diverse racial, cultural and linguistic needs of Cleveland youth.
With more than 76% of students tutored by AmeriCorps members last year improving their test scores, AmeriCorps members are truly making an impact. A close-knit community with ample opportunities to develop meaningful personal and professional relationships, Cleveland is an ideal place to serve. By engaging students, families and community organizations, City Year helps students succeed.
Professional development
As a City Year AmeriCorps member you’ll not only make a measurable impact in the lives of the students and communities you serve, but you’ll grow as an individual, too. During your 11 months of service, you’ll develop leadership and professional skills that will help you advance in your career after City Year—whether you choose to go into nonprofit, law, medicine or something entirely different.
Community involvement
Create a positive climate of high expectations and engagement that ripples throughout the greater Cleveland community.
Over the last 30 years we have built a robust relationship with the Cleveland Metropolitan School District schools, teachers, families and the community at large. We can’t wait to welcome you.

Hey y’all! While we’ve been home, I’ve been able to spend lots of quality time with my baby! Today, Omelet and I are here to give you a quick GENETICS REFRESHER! Wooo!
Genetics is the study of genes and heredity. Remember: Genes are made up of DNA. They carry information that determine traits passed on by parents. Traits such as, the color of your hair, eyes and how tall you are.
We love & miss you! Hoping y’all are taking care of yourselves and your egg babies! Be sure to be getting your journals to Mrs. Reese! Comment below how you and your baby have been! Love.
