Work with Kids

“I can’t wait to see the outcome at the end of the school year, how much the kids have learned and where they will go. This experience has changed my life.”

– Theron Clarke, Corps Member

Most City Year corps members work directly with children to help students strengthen their academic and life success.  Through City Year’s Whole School, Whole Child initiative, you will work with schools to provide structured academic support, create in-school and after-school programs, and generate positive school climate.

Because you and your team members will be assigned to serve in the same schools and after-school programs for the duration of the year, you’ll develop long-term relationships with the students in those programs as you help strengthen their academic and life success.

As a City Year corps member, you will work with youth by:

• Providing one-on-one or small group tutoring and mentoring
• Organizing enrichment activities, such as student councils and service clubs
• Teaching curricula on important social issues including poverty, environmental protection, health and wellness and violence.
• Leading after-school activities
• Assisting teachers in classrooms
• Becoming an integral part of the students' school experience
