I did City Year for the past two years in Chicago, and I can attest first hand to the impact that City Year has on youth and communities. City Year really is changing the world, one classroom at a time.

I'm currently serving at CY Greater Philadelphia. Should be a great year.

I wish I were young enough to be involved in this wonderful program! I live in the South Fulton area of Georgia where there is a desperate need for this type of program.

Bless all those members, past or present who are unselfishly doing what they can to reverse a distrubing trend in America.

I did CY Cleveland nearly 12 years ago. I didn't work a lot in a school but I did work in an art museum teaching adults w/ mental retardation art. It's an incredible thing to see someone who couldn't hold a paint brush learn to paint. City Year does make a difference.

Cityyear started off with good intentions, but I fear they will turn into a currupt propaganda organization.

These statistics are unfortunate. Thank you for doing the research to help these students. Have a great day !
