What We Do
Students growing up in concentrated poverty in New Orleans do not have access to the range of supports and services they need to be career and college ready. Research confirms the need to transform our current education model from a content-knowledge deliver system into a 21st century model that uses a whole child approach, which considers the developmental stage of each student. This is where City Year New Orleans comes in.
City Year brings in a carefully selected and trained group of 8-10 young adults (AmeriCorps members) to each of six New Orleans public schools. These AmeriCorps members offer support to our partner schools and students in all areas, focusing especially on attendance monitoring and engagement, social-emotional support, and tutoring in math and English.
Supportive AmeriCorps members become a consistent fixture in the lives of our partner schools’ students, and by being the caring and nurturing mentors that students need, they transform a school’s culture and help break down the barriers to student learning and mental wellness. Additionally, through City Year, AmeriCorps members cultivate a lifelong commitment to service and civic engagement.
