City Year New York

City Year is a national non-profit organization that partners with the New York public schools to ensure that students will graduate from high school in neighborhoods where one out of every two students is at risk for dropping out. City Year employs Corps Members (AmeriCorps Members are 17-24 year old high school graduates, college students and college graduates) who commit a year of their lives to serve full-time in public schools. The teams provide critical services like tutoring, run after-school programs and serve as role models to make the schools a more engaging place to learn.
