City Year Detroit

City Year Detroit City Year Detroit asks young people to serve students as tutors, mentors, and role models for one or two full school years. Think you have what it takes?

Our site has 83 AmeriCorps members serving in 17 Detroit schools. Send us a message! City Year is a national educational non-profit and a part of the AmeriCorps family. In Detroit, we have 116 young people working in 11 schools and with over 7,000 students as tutors, mentors, and role models. The challenge we're working to address is inequitable access to educational opportunities. Many students do not have access to the learning environments and resources they need to thrive due to systemic inequities that impact students of color and students growing up in low-income households. We believe City Year is part of the solution. Our AmeriCorps members act as student success coaches helping students build on their strengths and cultivate social, emotional and academic skills, whether that's mastering fractions or learning to work in teams-skills that are important in school and life. This is one year of your life where you devote yourself to a cause greater than yourself and there are few more rewarding experiences out there. Contact us with questions and if you are interested in applying!

New year. New corps. Same deep commitment to Detroit’s students. 🎓✨

We officially celebrated homecoming, City Year Detroit’s Opening Day at Durfee Innovation Society! The energy was unmatched with a live DJ, great food, and incredible community champions coming together to launch our new service year.

Our new class of AmeriCorps members is now officially in schools, bringing mentorship and support to classrooms across the city. Detroiters know that our greatest asset is our people—and this group is ready to show up big for our youth. Thank you to Ryan Doyle and Higley Construction for sponsoring and shout out to Carey Oven, our incoming board chair.
