  • City Year is an education-focused nonprofit organization that unites young people from diverse backgrounds for a year of full-time service to keep students in school and on track to high school graduation. In Providence, Rhode Island, City Year staff work closely with the City of Providence, the Providence Public Schools District, principals, and teachers to select the schools and classrooms where City Year AmeriCorps members serve. This year City Year Providence serves in six partner schools, providing programming to approximately 5,000 students.
