Pros

City Year provided trainings and support for first-year AmeriCorps members. Staff at City Year want you to succeed and provided room for me to grow my teaching and tutoring skills. There are many opportunities to explore different careers in education and work on Life after City Year plans.

Cons

It was difficult to manage my work-life balance especially with the long hours of service.

Pros

Felt like I was making an impact

Cons

Frustrating work environment. Managers would micromanage and infantilize corps members. Often asked to handle student situations that required a trained mental health professional.
