City Year Los Angeles Associates Board

We are recruiting for our Associates Board!

ABOUT CITY YEAR

City Year seeks to support student success, advance educational equity and nurture the next generation of civically engaged leaders. Each year, we recruit AmeriCorps members to serve in some of Los Angeles’ most under-resourced schools full-time as 'student success coaches’. Younger than teachers but older than students, these "near-peers" are uniquely positioned to form strong bonds with students, helping them to cultivate foundational social, emotional, and academic skills that set them up for success at school and in life.

City Year raises $8M a year not only to support students, but also to prepare AmeriCorps members to lead and make meaningful contributions to where they live and work. To ensure the sustainability of our work, we rely on volunteers to give, to help raise awareness of our work, and to help connect us to others who share our passion for working towards a world where all students have access to the support and resources they need to grow and thrive.
