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

- 87% of 天美影院 stayed on track in English Language Arts with a C or higher
- 91% of 天美影院 stayed on track in mathematics with a C or higher
Advancing Interpersonal and Workforce Readiness Skills
