| Our mission | City Year helps students and schools succeed, while preparing the next generation of civically engaged leaders who can work across lines of difference. Diverse teams of City Year AmeriCorps members provide support to students, classrooms and the whole school. Schools that partner with City Year are up to two to three times more likely to improve in English and math assessments, and the more time students spend with AmeriCorps members, the more they improve on social, emotional and academic skills— skills that help students thrive in school and contribute to their community. |

| Ways to help |
MentoringOur AmeriCorps Members are a diverse group of young adults ages 17-25 dedicating a year of service to Boston Public Schools. The Mentoring Program aims to give corps members a one-on-one relationship with a mentor by creating matches based on a corps member’s professional goals. The program runs from January – June, with applications typically launching in November.Community CrewDuring warm weather months, Community Crew offers community members, alumni, and more an opportunity to participate in a monthly mural project. They take place on the second Saturday of each month in May – October from 10 am – 1 pm.Small Group ServiceCity Year Boston is fortunate to have champions in the community, and has a few opportunities for building support among your networks. You can organize a supply drive or at-home service workshops among friends or colleagues.ACM Session FacilitationIn addition to supporting our AmeriCorps Members as mentors, there are opportunities to present at networking sessions and career days. These typically happen from September – April.Enrichment Video ProjectTo support virtual learning, City Year is organizing opportunities for volunteers to share enrichment videos for students.
