City Year mobilizes AmeriCorps members who provide in-school support to students, classrooms, and schools to help students succeed and grow as future community leaders. Members spend time with students in classrooms, giving extra attention that supports English and math achievement and helps students develop skills to thrive in school and community. The program is funded by AmeriCorps, school districts, and private philanthropy, and operates through partnerships with public schools in 29 U.S. communities and international affiliates in the U.K. and South Africa. It differs from others by pairing a national service model with long-term, hands-on student support across many communities via a dedicated corps, creating a broad, community-connected network; its goal is to boost academic and social-emotional outcomes while growing the next generation of leaders.
