Give Detroit – A Charitable Registry

From before the first bell to after the last student goes home, our AmeriCorps members support Detroit students every day.

We are City Year. We challenge the educational status quo with tenacity, passion and empathy. We create environments where young people can fulfill their potential.

// KEY SERVICES PROVIDED

City Year Detroit is celebrating 25 years of helping Detroit students and young adults succeed. They train and deploy diverse teams of AmeriCorps members (ACMs), ages 17-25, to serve as student success coaches for a year in systemically under resourced schools. This year, more than 80 ACMs will serve in nine DPSCD partner schools, supporting roughly 5,000 students. The coaches arrive at school before the first bell rings and stay until the last student leaves at the end of the day, providing targeted intervention in English language arts, math, attendance support, and behavior coaching, to contribute
to a positive and welcoming school climate.
