A Day in the Life of a City Year AmeriCorps Member |
|
Every AmeriCorps members' experience looks a little different based on the community and school you’ll be serving in - as well as your own goals and aspirations. For a glimpse into some typical aspects of a service day, you can hear directly from one of our service year advisers in this “day in the life” overview.
City Year helps students and schools succeed, while preparing the next generation of civically engaged leaders who can work across lines of difference. Diverse teams of City Year AmeriCorps members provide support to students, classrooms and the whole school. Schools that partner with City Year are up to two to three times more likely to improve in English and math assessments, and the more time students spend with AmeriCorps members, the more they improve on social, emotional and academic skills— skills that help students thrive in school and contribute to their community. A proud member of the AmeriCorps national service network, City Year is supported by AmeriCorps, local school districts and private philanthropy. City Year partners with public schools in 29 communities across the U.S. and through international affiliates in the U.K. and South Africa.
