City Year

City Year is an education focused organization that helps students and schools succeed in high-need communities. Our diverse City Year AmeriCorps members (ages 18-25) provide research-based student, classroom and school-wide support to help students stay in school and on track to graduate.

Denver is currently serving in eight Denver Public Schools with 75 AmeriCorps members, serving 4,000 students. The 2017-2018 budget is $3.5 million with a $1.7 million private revenue goal.
