Help a young adult find their way and unlock their future potential

What is City Year?

A powerful year of service that gives young adults confidence, a sense of community, career pathways and education support.

*Designed for young adults ages 17-25

An AmeriCorps City Year in the Bay Area is designed to help young adults ages 17-25 grow as a people and a professionals while uplifting children from underserved communities. One aspect of their year of service is designed to teach them how to support, advocate for and uplift the children in their program. The other side of a City Year is designed to provide them with personal and professional training, career support, education scholarships and guidance to help them excel in whatever lies beyond their year with us.

Alumni Testimonials

  • “My time as a Corps member cemented my commitment to a career focused on systemic change, even if it’s really hard sometimes! I made the conscious choice to weave this work into my career wherever possible…”

    Associate Manager of Social Impact at LinkedIn

  • "I learned so much during my year of service but if I had to identify the one thing that has served me the most I would say it’s been the importance of first building trust in the relationships you have with colleagues, clients, partners, really everyone."

  • “The first thing I really remember with City Year is how much fun the people I was with made it. Even the training itself was fun as long as I had the right people to share the experience with. I made lifelong friends at City Year and I will always be grateful for the program bringing us together.
