Ameri-Corps City Year brings together teams of 17-24 year olds dedicated to providing children in America's most urban cities after school literacy tutoring, substance abuse prevention education, and HIV/AIDS prevention education.
I participate in City Year's youth leadership development program, Young Heroes Washington D.C. and meet with over 100 middle school children from around the District every Saturday at Garnett-Patterson Junior High to participate in fellowship regarding civil topis. For example: Homelessness and Hunger, Civil Awareness, Education and Equality, Breaking Down Stereotypes, etc...
Half of each Saturday is spent educating the children about the day's topic through discussion, media and activities, and the other half is spent participating in a community service aspect throughout the D.C. community in correlation with the day's topic.
City Year's involvement throughout the nation openly spreads peaceful and progressive ideology and strives to prepare the next generation with skills that will allow them to better participate in a cohesive international community.
