Enter any classroom at Southwark School and you will see City Year AmeriCorps members working one-on-one with students. When they are not helping students with their literacy and math, they are mentoring them and getting to know the students on a personal level.

“This is our first year working with City Year and it has been a great experience for the school,” said principal Andrew Lukov. “They have really helped the students out in so many different ways. You can feel their excitement and presence throughout the building. We’re really lucky to have them as one of our partnerships.”
