Strong partnerships for a better future

Our corporate partners play a critical role at City Year by supporting us with their time, expertise and resources. We'll work closely with you to build a values-driven partnership that engages your employees, enhances your brand and drives impact in the communities we serve.

Each of our corporate partnerships are customized to deliver on our shared goals. We are proud that that some of our national partners have worked with City Year since the founding of our organization more than 30 years ago. Our national footprint means we can serve your needs across the country. Our national partners benefit from:

  • Opportunities to engage in educational improvement initiatives on a national and local level
  • Engagement opportunities for your employees in service days and at events
  • Brand visibility and storytelling opportunities
  • Demonstrated impact supporting students and our 3,000 AmeriCorps members

Ways to partner with us

Support national initiatives that drive impact in schools across the country. Together, we can accelerate City Year’s impact on 226,000 students at 350 schools in 29 cities where we address the challenge of inequitable access to educational opportunities.

Support City Year in a specific community

Team and program sponsorships are premier opportunities for companies to engage with City Year’s work in your local community. Your company would support the work of City Year AmeriCorps members in schools as they make a difference in the lives of students they serve while also acquiring valuable experience that helps prepare them to be leaders in their communities and careers. Find out more about sponsorship opportunities.

Partner with Care Force on virtual or in-person service events

City Year’s Care Force engages corporations and their employees in high-impact, in-person and virtual volunteer events. We take pride in leading employee engagement events that meet community needs and provide an outstanding volunteer experience. Care Force can work in any community across the United States and in many locations around the world. The event sponsorships provided to Care Force support each volunteer service event as well as City Year’s work to help students and school succeed. Learn more about partnering with Care Force or contact Ted Marquis (tmarquis@cityyear.org) for more information.

If you are interested in collaborating with one of our City Year sites on a volunteer service initiative please reach out to Care Force and we will connect you with the appropriate local contact.

Enhance your brand

Partner with City Year to highlight your company’s commitment to making a difference in the communities you serve through authentic storytelling that elevates public awareness about our partnership and adds unique brand recognition opportunities. At City Year, we will work with you to develop partnership narratives, design cause marketing campaigns and build communications plans to raise awareness for your commitment to our shared values.
