City Year is a nonprofit organization that focuses on helping students in under-resourced schools. Founded in 1988, it recruits young adults to serve as AmeriCorps members, who work as tutors, mentors, and role models. Their goal is to support students in achieving academic success and to foster a positive school environment. The program operates in various cities across the United States, partnering with schools to address challenges such as absenteeism and low academic performance. City Year members engage in activities like providing one-on-one support, leading after-school programs, and organizing community service projects to enhance student engagement and learning.
