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. The Cleveland Metropolitan School District and Breakthrough Charter Schools serve more than 40,000 students in 115 schools.
“I walked into my service year with my mind open and a passion for service and quickly realized that I was a part of something much bigger than myself. My service experience has given me far more than I could have ever imagined. Anyone can serve, in any way.”
Gustania Walls City Year AmeriCorps Member and Team Leader, ‘16 - ‘18
Your corps experience
City Year is a key partner to the Cleveland Metropolitan School District and Breakthrough Charter Schools 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.
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. In 2019, we welcomed Breakthrough Charter Schools as our newest partner. We can’t wait to welcome you.
