Your corps experience

City Year is a key partner to both the East Baton Rouge Parish School District and several Charter Management Operators in the community, helping to create equitable learning opportunities for all students and develop the city’s future leaders. AmeriCorps members support teachers and staff in delivering instruction that serves the development of the whole child and is responsive to the diverse racial, cultural and linguistic needs of Baton Rouge youth.

With more than 69% of students tutored by AmeriCorps members last year ending their on-track in grades, AmeriCorps members are truly making an impact. A close-knit community with ample opportunities to develop meaningful personal and professional relationships, Baton Rouge is an ideal place to serve. By engaging students, families and community organizations, ��ɫ��Ƶ helps our schools increase student achievement while also supporting students’ social-emotional learning and well-being. Together, we are developing students to be college and career-ready!
