THE ALAN AMIR ALI KHAZEI GLOBAL FUND AT CITY YEAR

The City Year Board of Trustees has established The Alan Amir Ali Khazei Global Fund at City Year to honor Co-Founder Alan Khazei's extraordinary vision, commitment and leadership. Through the fund, City Year will tap the power of idealism and citizen service to unite people from all races, religions, cultures and ethnicities in building a more just world for all of us.

CITY YEAR INTERNATIONAL

Your support of City Year International will build the organization’s capacity to contribute to the global citizen service movement. Building upon our U.S. and South African experiences, City Year International is reaching out to networks across the globe to understand current and future landscapes for national youth service. City Year International is building partnerships with organizations such as Unis-Cite in France, meeting leaders from across all sectors in the UK and hosting delegations from around the world to exchange ideas and models for youth service.
