Working at City Year

City Year believes that all children can succeed, and that student potential is limitless. They hire over 2,000 people annually to serve as AmeriCorps Members for 11 months, working in K-12 public schools. In 30 locations across the country, they work on teams and in collaboration with public-school partners to provide additional adult support to students who need it. Serving as tutors and mentors, these AmeriCorps Members use a research-based approach to assist teachers and get their students on track towards graduation.

During their year of service with City Year, AmeriCorps Members receive a living stipend, health benefits, professional development, student loan forbearance, an education award of approximately $7,400 and access to a variety of graduate school scholarships through City Year’s University Partnerships program. This can serve as a great gap year opportunity for those applying to graduate school, gaining experience for law or medical school, or those wanting to make an impact before moving into their long-term career goals.
