At City Year, we believe that all students can succeed and that developing the skills and mindsets of children and young adults contributes to strong, vibrant communities—outcomes that benefit all of us. We’re proud to partner with AmeriCorps.

A domestic version of the Peace Corp., City Year participants tutor and mentor schoolchildren and do community projects. Participants must be 17 to 24 years old, U.S. citizens or legal residents and have either a high school diploma or GED or agree to pursue a GED while in the program. Members work about 50 hours a week for 10 months. They must earn a minimum of 1,700 total service hours.

Participants receive a weekly living allowance of about $200. They receive a $4,725 education award each year that they participate.

They can serve up to two years.
