City Year is a nonprofit organization built on the belief that young people can change the world. The organization unites individuals of all backgrounds for a demanding year of full-time community service. As tutors, mentors, and role models, City Year corps members make a difference in the lives of children and transform schools and neighborhoods. In addition, not only can they earn an educational award of $4,725 that can be used to further their education, pay back school loans, or attend trade school, but they also aquire, develop, and implement viable leadership and networking skills that enhance the communities that we serve. In one day a corps member can go from tutoring a kid in East Harlem to engaging community stakeholders in Bed-Stuy to helping facilitate a fundraiser in Chelsea literally. CYNY is only one of 17 City Year sites located across the country. To find out more, visit www.cityyear.org.

Discussion: For all you potential Second Years
 
 
 
   
 
As a second year CM myself, I'm always very interested in what other people's reasons for wanting to come back and serve another year as a SL or CM are. Why and when did you decided that you wanted to apply again?

Thats a powerful question my brother Tilley. I want to come back a SL for the NYCE team, it is alot of work man, i wouldnt mind coming back as a corps member, my reason for re-applying is based on a strong belief that i have. City Year has not just given me the skills and tools to effectively plan and execute a community Physical Service Day with a diverse team of 17-24 year olds, but they allow me to make such a experience fun and enjoyable, therefore increase the spirit of volunteerism. Where else can i find that? Please tell me if there is a place....
