Today, @CityYearPhilly celebrates Juneteenth, the oldest nationally celebrated commemoration of the ending of slavery in America. June 19, 1865 marks the date of the emancipation of the last Black slaves in Texas. Today and everyday, we celebrate Black history and culture while continuing to listen, learn, and share resources to elevate Black voices.
Today is graduation day! Congratulations to our 2019-2020 @CityYearPhilly AmeriCorps members!

Happy Birthday to Breonna Taylor who would have turned 27 years old today. City Year Philadelphia remains united with all voices that are demanding justice and we stand with members of our community who are personally impacted by violence against Black lives #justiceforbreonna #sayhername #blacklivesmatter
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 with voices that are demanding justice, and we stand with members of our community who are personally impacted by this violence, including the young people we support in schools.

While most City Year Philly AmeriCorps members are deployed in schools, there is a select group whose tasks are primarily rooted in physical service. Their work is beyond the classroom.
This group of AmeriCorps members are known as the Civic Engagement Team and they carry our organization’s founding values by planning service projects that transform communities and school environments throughout Philadelphia.
