CITY YEAR ALUMNI A lifetime of impact

“The direction City Year is going is breathtaking.

The idea of quadrupling the number of corps members, the idea of just taking on systemically this dropout challenge with great partners,

I think will transform educational opportunity in this country – hopefully for decades to come.”

- Former Secretary of Education, Arne Duncan
