City Year condemns the killings of George Floyd, Ahmaud Arbery, Breonna Taylor, Tony McDade, Sean Reed and all those who have lost their lives in the recent days. We join the voices that are demanding justice and we stand with members of our community who are personally impacted by this continued violence, including the young people we support in schools across the country who experience the traumatic impacts of racial violence.

“Take calculated risks. Overcome your fears, and try new things–even if it means making mistakes–it is important for your personal growth.” — Sehrish, Jamshed “Hey Bulldogs! I know things are crazy, but I also know you got this! Never forget how powerful and awesome y’all are and of course I’m always proud of y’all! Keep pushing through” 🌟 ❤️ - Ms. K, aka Ms. Krysten, aka, Ms. Christian 😂
