Our MLK Legacy of Service projects at @academiesatroxborough are coming along nicely! All of our @AmeriCorps teams recently painted murals featuring famous historical and contemporary BIPOC figures (including some Philadelphia natives) and college logos, which were selected with survey input from the Roxborough community.
This week, the @cyphilly_ce Team is finalizing mural touchups and installation prep (with help from next year's CE Team members!), and the finished products will be installed at Roxborough High School this Friday! Shoutout again to the CE Team, Corps members, and volunteers for all of their hard work on these projects. We can't wait to see the results soon!

The service year is almost over, and our @AmeriCorps members are hard at work planning for their LACY (Life After City Year) plans! Fifty Corps members recently took part in @Deloitte Professional Development Day (formerly 18-Minute Networking), where they participated in a variety of opt-in sessions on topics such as turning your passion into a career, nonprofits 101, and saving for retirement. Corps members also had the opportunity to meet 1:1 with CYP alumni to practice interviewing and get personalized resume feedback!
Thank you to our corporate partners @cozenoconnor, Glenmede, and @lincolnfingroup for taking the time to present to our Corps members, as well as @Deloitte for hosting and catering this event. A huge gratitude also to Dave Weinstein, Wendy Childs, and our many CYP and AmeriCorps alumni who volunteered their time to provide guidance and expertise to Corps members!
City Year Philly offers a variety of other professional development opportunities to Corps members throughout their service year. Visit cityyear.org/philadelphia/experience to learn more!
