At City Year, we know the importance of connection. Our AmeriCorps Members work every day to build community and connection with students. Because of these relationships, students connect with what is going on in the classroom.
Especially during this time of isolation due to Covid19, it is important to stay connected to one another. Using the #CYBecauseOf tag, we want to know who has motivated you? What relationships have helped get you through this past year? Post a photo and tag us or comment below!

We had a blast celebrating our ACMs today for Corps Appreciation Month. These ACMs work so tirelessly and we are extremely grateful for them and their service in Little Rock.
@spudlovear and @communitybakerylr came through with some awesome goods!

City Year Little Rock is thrilled to announce our Red Jacket: Because Of Campaign. This initiative aims to raise $100,000 in funds over a six week time frame while celebrating the community we are fortunate enough to serve in. The Red Jacket Campaign takes the place of our traditional signature "Red Jacket Ball".
Because of this amazing community of supporters and champions, City Year Little Rock AmeriCorps Members serve each day in-person at five key partner schools. ACMs reach thousands of students, in schools and virtually, tutoring and mentoring so that students stay on track. Even as COVID-19 causes an unprecedented moment of disruption to the schooling of Little Rock children, we know students will continue to dream big and strive for academic success. Now more than ever they need people who believe in their future.
A decision to participate in City Year Little Rock's Red Jacket: Because Of Campaign is a decision to help local students reconnect with their school community, re-engage in their learning and recover from learning loss. Please consider supporting our efforts by visiting the link in our bio.
We are proud to kick-off this campaign with a spring break backpack distribution for students in our partner schools. Thanks to our backpack sponsor, @clintonfoundation, and in-kind product partners @archildrens & @deltadentalar!

Because of your support, City Year AmeriCorps Members continue to serve students each day. Although we will not be gathering in-person for any events celebrating that work this year, we have something exciting up our sleeve that we cannot wait to share with you.
Check back next week here, or in our Facebook group!
Mark your calendars! On Wednesday, February 10th, LRSD Supt. Mike Poore will work from the roof of the admin building, 810 W. Markham, if the community fills his office with nonperishable food items. Support the LRSD efforts today! #2021PMOTR
