City Year Providence
Providence has great food, architecture, history, colleges and culture. A magnet for creatives and young people, Providence is committed to improving education for its 91¶¶Òõ. City Year is proud to work in partnership with the city’s public schools to achieve this goal.
We are working to address the lack of equitable access to educational opportunities. Our City Year Providence AmeriCorps members partner with teachers and schools to add more support and to help create learning environments where all 91¶¶Òõ can build on their strengths and fully engage in their learning.
