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 focused on coaching and mentoring to help students earn academic success, improve attendance, and develop positive behaviors at school.

You will not need prior experience in all these tasks, as we provide 2-4 weeks of training at the beginning of the year to support you.
