Career Opportunities

 A year of service as a City Year corps member will provide you with many opportunities to develop skills that will benefit you in any career. Many employers also recognize these skills, and actively recruit our alumni. As a result, City Year has developed several partnerships with companies and organizations that hire and give preference to City Year alumni.
