About City Year Greater Boston

For more than thirty years, City Year Greater Boston has delivered a powerful double bottom line: improved outcomes for students in under-resourced schools and the cultivation of the next generation of leaders through their alumni. City Year is an AmeriCorps program – a national network of programs that engages thousands of members in service to meet critical needs across the country. City Year AmeriCorps members serve in systemically under-resourced schools as student success coaches—full-time, near-peer tutors, mentors, and role models who are uniquely positioned and trained to support students’ social, emotional, and academic growth, while helping to create engaging learning environments. This work, to support student and school success, helps to advance educational equity and creates more opportunity for everyone.
