CLASS HUB Employer Spotlight: City Year

Visit the CLASS HUB throughout the day to meet with a representative from City Year. Lunch will be served from 12:15 - 1:30 p.m.

City Year AmeriCorps members serve in schools full time as student success coaches, helping students cultivate social, emotional, and academic skills, whether that’s mastering fractions or learning to work in teams—skills that are important in school and in life. AmeriCorps members tutor students one-on-one or in small groups, help students stay focused in class, organize school-wide events, and run afterschool programs. Through their work in schools and communities, City Year AmeriCorps members not only make a difference in the lives of students they serve but also acquire valuable skills that prepare them to become the next generation of civically engaged leaders. Ultimately, City Year seeks to significantly increase the number of students who are on track to graduate from high school in the communities we serve. As we learn about what contributes to student success through our partnership with teachers, schools, and community organizations, we are dedicated to sharing what we are learning and contributing to broader system changes in education—both by helping to nurture future educators and working to identify and spread practices that support improvement across schools and districts.
