Every 26 Seconds

Every 26 seconds a student gives up on school in America. That's over a million every year.

Students at risk of dropping out can be identified as early as 6th grade. City Year can help reach the right students, at the right time with the right support.

City Year unites 17-24 year olds for a full year to serve as tutors, mentors and role models, keeping students in school and on track to graduate.

These diverse young leaders work to improve student attendance, behavior and coursework by providing one-to-one tutoring, leading attendance award clubs and running after-school programs focused on homework support and community service.
