City Year Los Angeles

About Me

An "action tank" for national service, City Year seeks to demonstrate, improve and promote the concept of national service as a means for building a stronger democracy. An action tank is both a program and a think tank - constantly combining theory and practice to advance new policy ideas, make programmatic breakthroughs, and bring about major changes in society.City Year's vision is that one day, the most commonly asked question of a young person will be, "Where are you going to do your service year?"

My Interests

United in their desire to serve, these young leaders invest their talents and energy to solve critical problems in their communities, engage volunteers, and make a positive difference in the lives of others.As a City Year corps member, you will immerse yourself in a year of service at one of 18 site locations across the United States. Los Angeles being the newest! You will learn and you will lead. You will be challenged and inspired. You will make a difference! Apply today! www.cityyear.org
