City Year unites young people of all backgrounds for a year of full-time service, giving them the skills and opportunities to change the world. City Year was founded in 1988 on the belief that young people can change the world. At City Year’s locations across the United States and in South Africa, young people – called “corps members” – serve full time for 10 months. City Year’s vision is that one day the most commonly asked question of a young person will be, “Where are you going to do your service year?” Every 26 seconds, a student gives up on school in America. City Year corps members serve as tutors, mentors and role models to help students stay on track – and get back on track – to graduate. By giving corps members the skills and opportunities to serve in schools and neighborhoods across the country, City Year seeks to: •Help students and schools succeed •Build stronger communities •Break down social barriers •Develop young leaders •Foster active citizenship
