City Year New York's (CYNY) mission is to help students and schools succeed. Fueled by national service, we partner with under-resourced schools to help bridge the gap between what students need and what most schools are equipped to provide. CYNY AmeriCorps members form positive developmental relationships with students, encourage them to come to school every day, and provide evidence-based supports that help students persevere through challenges, build on their strengths, and thrive. 

CYNY serves in four communities across New York City: East Harlem (Manhattan), the South Bronx (Bronx), East New York (Brooklyn), and Jackson Heights (Queens), helping provide the learning environments and high-quality education that all children deserve. 

City Year’s signature program, Whole School Whole Child, was developed in collaboration with education and youth development researchers and practitioners. Through the program, CYNY trains and places diverse teams of young adults with partner schools and teachers to improve students’ attendance, social-emotional skills, and course performance in literacy and math.

City Year New York is also a proud partner of the NYC Department of Education’s Office of Community Schools. As the lead Community Based Organization in Community Schools across New York City, our work establishes the school as a pillar of the neighborhood by providing access to programs and services such as health care, expanded learning programs, adult programs, and other services. Each Community School partnership enables us to implement our Whole School Whole Child model holistically and in collaboration with the entire school community.
