City Year Philadelphia is an education-focused, nonprofit organization that unites young people of all backgrounds for a year of full-time service to keep students in school and on track to graduation. City Year has worked in successful collaboration with the District over the past 22 years. City Year AmeriCorps members are 18-25 years of age, who make a one-year, full-time service commitment to working in Philadelphia's elementary, middle and high schools. Teams of Corps members represent a diverse population as defined by race, culture, gender, class, and education level.

Through this collaboration, City Year will continue to work intensively with students, teachers, principals and school staff to enhance academic support and intervention, attendance and behavior coaching and mentoring, after school enrichment activities, report card conferences, and positive school climate and service activities. Corps members will work with school staff to identify students with early warning indicators that will receive targeted and intensive supports. City Year will deploy teams of Corps members managed by one City Year staff member (Impact Manager). The Managing Director, Impact Director, and Executive Director will provide senior staff input and oversight for this program. The project will report directly to the Chief of Schools at the District.

Corps members will be present in schools a total of 9.5 hours per day based on the start and end time of the school day, Monday through Friday. City Year staff and Corps members may be exempt from direct service 2-3 days per month when they participate in professional development activities (a schedule of training days will be provided to each school by the City Year Impact Manager). In the event the School District determines remote service delivery is necessary due to the COVID-19 pandemic, City Year has proposed several options to continue providing services virtually to our students. The Chief of Schools Office has been working directly with City Year's leadership to develop plans should virtual learning be required to continue into the 20-21 school year. Through the utilization of Google Classroom and other District-supported virtual platforms, in accordance with District rules and regulations, we are confident that Corps members will still be able to serve and continue to have a positive impact on our students.
