City Year seeks Corps Members

Posted by City Year Philadelphia on July 9, 2018

CITY YEAR STILL HIRING FOR ALL LOCATIONS

City Year is now accepting applications on a rolling basis until every position at all 28 sites have been filled. City Year was founded in 1988 on the belief that young people can change the world. City Year is an education focused, nonprofit organization that unites young people of all backgrounds for a year of full-time service to keep students in school and on track to graduation. At City Year’s 28 urban locations across the United States and three international affiliates, teams of trained young people called corps members serve full-time in schools for the academic year as tutors, mentors and role models. By focusing on attendance, behavior and course performance, which identify students who are at risk of dropping out, corps members are uniquely able to help students and schools succeed.
