City Year Baton Rouge Information Session
Support students in Baton Rouge
City Year challenges the educational status quo with tenacity, passion, and empathy. They create environments where young people feel like they belong, so they can fulfill their potential.
Across City Year's partner schools in Baton Rouge, administration, teachers, students, families and City Year are working together to get more students on track for graduation. Together, all can make a difference for Baton Rouge’s students.
While Baton Rouge is widely known for being a vibrant center for academia, business, tech, and medicine, some students in Baton Rouge face significant challenges every day. East Baton Rouge (EBR) Parish is home to over 80,000 school-aged children.
You can help!
Serve in an elementary, middle or K–8 school throughout the Baton Rouge area. Each school has its own culture and character, but all are dedicated to helping their students succeed.
Work with a committed and diverse group of 6–10 City Year AmeriCorps members who share your passion for service and personal growth. Spend time getting to know and working closely with your team and school every day, while taking time every month to celebrate successes and collaborate on projects with the entire corps during Learning and Development Days.
Work closely with your Impact Manager to help best your students, schools, and team. Additionally, City Year Baton Rouge AmeriCorps members have opportunities to specialize in projects pertaining to social media and branding, community and physical service, AmeriCorps member experience, and much more! Take time to get to know our twenty-two staff members and collaborate in unique ways to help the site accomplish all of its goals.
