City Year Washington DC

City Year AmeriCorps members serve as student success coaches, supporting the development, growth, and success of students in systemically under-resourced schools, while cultivating skills to be leaders in their communities and careers. They collaborate with the school principal and teachers to deliver a suite of interconnected services that cost-effectively and efficiently improve student, classroom, and whole-school outcomes. City Year AmeriCorps members are guided by full-time, on-site City Year impact managers and become integrated into the fabric of the school community. Services include one-on-one and small group instruction in English and math with embedded social-emotional supports. We also offer additional capacity in the classroom, supporting classroom routines, and providing and enabling differentiated instruction. Our extended-day activities include: afterschool programming, homework assistance, enrichment curricula, and civic projects that build and serve the community.
