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. This is a paid, full-time, entry-level position designed for individuals ready to build themselves, give back, and help change the world.
Your service will focus on coaching and mentoring to help students achieve academic success, improve attendance, and develop positive behaviors.

A key part of your role involves creating and implementing behavior management systems and fostering interpersonal skills through proven strategies of learning, practice, reflection, and repetition.
Beyond the classroom, you will support whole-school initiatives to increase engagement with students and families. This includes conducting extended day and virtual programming before, during, and after school, such as academic enrichment, homework support, recreation, and leadership development. You will also help create and co-lead events that recognize student growth and achievement.
