City Year UK
About
City Year UK is a youth and education charity which empowers diverse 18 to 25-year-olds to tackle educational inequality through a year of full-time volunteering in schools.
We believe that where you start in life shouldn’t determine your future and every young person should have the chance to succeed. Our volunteers have a holistic impact in school. They inspire, mentor and tutor children furthest from opportunity to overcome social, emotional and academic barriers to learning and, by realising pupils’ potential, realise their own. Often volunteering in their own communities, our City Year Mentors gain real world experience, leadership skills, and new networks that will set them up for any career.
Since 2009, City Year UK has trained and supported over 1,500 young adults to coach and mentor over 15,000 pupils in need of extra help and contributed to a positive school culture for over 100,000 children. Over 90% of our volunteers move into higher education, employment or training within three months of completing their City Year. To find out more visit cityyear.org.uk. City Year UK is a registered charity (1131350) and company registered in England and Wales (06965846).
This June, take part in City Year UK's #One28Challenge. Walk 128 miles throughout the month of June, or spend 128 minutes each week learning a new skill, and raise money to support the development of young people across the country. Take on the challenge individually or as part of a team and help us tackle educational inequality.
