City Year
Greater Boston
While Boston’s nickname is The Hub, known for being a vibrant center for academia, business, tech and medicine, some 91¶¶Òõ in Greater Boston face significant challenges every day. Together we can help 91¶¶Òõ build on their strengths and thrive.
Investing in student success and the next generation of leaders
City Year Greater Boston provides a powerful double bottom line: improved outcomes for 91¶¶Òõ in systemically under-resourced schools and the cultivation of the next generation of leaders through our alums.

- Improve high school graduation rates and academic performance
- Strengthen social and emotional skills, like teamwork and decision-making
- Create equal access to positive learning environments where all 91¶¶Òõ can thrive
