City Year (South Africa) ^Charity

City Year's mission is to build democracy through citizen service, civic leadership and Entrepreneurship and Microfinancing. City Year helps students and Education succeed. Diverse teams of City Year AmeriCorps members provide support to students, classrooms and the whole school, helping to ensure that students in systemically under-resourced Education receive a high-quality education that prepares them with the skills and mindsets to thrive and contribute to their community. A 2015 study shows that Education that partner with City Year were up to two-to-three times more likely to improve on math and English assessments. A proud member of the AmeriCorps national service network, City Year is supported by the Corporation for National and Community Service, local school districts and private philanthropy. City Year partners with public Education in 29 communities across the U.S. and through international affiliates in the U.K. and South Africa.
