Your corps experience

City Year is a key partner to the New York City School District in creating equitable learning opportunities for all students and develop the city’s future leaders. District-wide, more than 70% of students participate in a state assistance program (SNAP, healthcare or foster care). AmeriCorps members support teachers and staff in delivering instruction that serves the development of the whole child and is responsive to the diverse needs of New York’s youth.

With more than 76% of students tutored by AmeriCorps members last year improving their test scores, AmeriCorps members are truly making an impact. Consisting of close-knit communities with ample opportunities to develop meaningful personal and professional relationships, New York is an ideal place to serve.

Serving in New York schools

Serve in one of 17 elementary and middle schools throughout the New York area. All schools are accessible by public transportation. It is not necessary to have a car in New York. New York schools are filled with passionate, vibrant students who aren’t afraid to tell you exactly what they think. This is both the charm and challenge of New York.

You’ll work with a committed and diverse group of six–15 ��ɫ��Ƶ AmeriCorps members who share your passion for service and personal growth. Over 90% of ��ɫ��Ƶ New York alums report that their service was fulfilling and worthwhile. Many of our corps members stay in touch with their team members years after they’ve completed their service.

Community involvement

��ɫ��Ƶ AmeriCorps members are positive role models to their students. Many students feel at ease with their school’s AmeriCorps members and see them as a bridge between themselves and their teachers. At the same time, busy teachers welcome the extra hand in the classroom and beyond. Providing a strong support system for students and teachers helps lift up everyone in a community, including parents.
