City Year
Greater Boston
While Boston’s nickname is The Hub, known for being a vibrant center for academia, business, tech and medicine, some students in Greater Boston face significant challenges every day. Together we can help students build on their strengths and thrive.
What do we do?
City Year Greater Boston provides a powerful double bottom line: improved outcomes for students in under-resourced schools and the cultivation of the next generation of leaders through our alum.
Greater Boston, with all its history, is also a modern, creative and energetic area for tech, biotech, education and more. A great place for young professionals to explore.
Whether we are recruiting young leaders, implementing our work in schools, finding new supporters or helping our AmeriCorps members be the best they can be, we are all passionate about working together to support students.
Join our community to receive powerful stories, opportunities to volunteer, and information on educational equity in our community.
