Supporting Young Heroes

WHEN YOUNG HEROES SHOW UP, WORK HARD
AND ACHIEVE, WE ALL WIN.

At City Year, we believe students can reach their full potential as learners and leaders if they have tutors and mentors deeply committed to their schools and communities. The City Year Young Heroes Campaign sets us on a path to raise the funds necessary to support the service of our AmeriCorps members – supporting students in the classroom, online and in-person all day, every day, for the entire school year. 

For questions, please contact Rebekah Ball at rball@cityyear.org or 407-581-7579.
