Support students in Los Angeles
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.
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.
Across City Year Los Angeles’ partner schools, approximately 70% of students in are considered off track in English Language Arts and approximately 80% are considered off track in Math. Together, we can make a difference for Los Angeles’ students.

We stand with our Asian, Pacific Islander, & Desi American community in the aftermath of yesterday's events in Atlanta and the ongoing violence against Asian Americans. Last night the APIDA community was once again targeted in a violent hate crime that resulted in the loss of eight individuals, six of whome were Asian women. Our thoughts and prayers are with the victims and their families.
To our CYLA Asian, Pacific Islander, and Desi American community members, our hearts are with you today and every day. We are here for you, and we stand with you in the fight for justice.
To the larger community, take time to check in on your loved one’s today friends. We are all in this together. ❤️

This past week we hit the one-year anniversary of transitioning our service into the virtual space. It’s been a year full of challenges, but we are so grateful for all our @americorps members who have stood by their students and transformed their service to meet the new needs of their students during remote learning. Our students needed us more than ever, and our @americorps members fearlessly took the challenge head on and have kept them learning, smiling, and making memories during this time. We appreciate you more than you know team. 💛
Swipe to see some special moments from our teams from this year. 🙌🏽
