Our teams of AmeriCorps members provide support to students, classrooms, and the whole school, ensuring that students receive a high-quality education that prepares them with the skills and mindset to thrive and contribute to their community.
About the Role
As a City Year AmeriCorps Member, you will serve as a student success coach and mentor for elementary, middle, and/or high school students.
