Your support of City Year Miami is far more than checkbook philanthropy. It helps City Year corps members put their idealism to work by tutoring and mentoring school children, reclaiming public spaces, and organizing after-school programs in the Miami-Dade County area.

There are several ways in which corporations, individuals, and philanthropic organizations can partner with City Year Miami:
TEAM SPONSORSHIP
A diverse team of corps members serving a Miami-Dade County school will represent your company as they dedicate a year to provide individual support to students who need extra care and attention, so more kids stay in school and on track to succeed. As a team sponsor, your organization will support the recruitment, training and management of team of 8-12 corps members to help improve a student's attendance, behavior and course performance. The Team Sponsor Program is City Year Miami’s premier partnership opportunity and each team proudly wears their sponsor's logo on their City Year red jackets and t-shirts as a visible sign of our partners' commitment to the community. In addition, your team sponsorship will give your employees the opportunity to serve their communities in exciting and innovative ways.
