History

In 1994 City Year selected Chicago as one of three cities for the first national expansion of the City Year program. That year, 55 corps members provided a vast array of services to communities throughout Chicago, including painting murals, providing services to the homeless and the elderly, as well as providing enrichment programs for children living with HIV and AIDS.

Over the last eleven years, City Year Chicago has responded to the increasing need serve Chicago Public Schools and children living on Chicago's south and west side communities.
