City Year New York (CYNY) is a nonprofit organization that partners with under-resourced public schools to support student learning and attendance through a model built on peer-to-peer mentoring and evidence-based supports. Its signature Whole School Whole Child program places diverse teams of young adults in partner schools to foster positive relationships, bolster students’ social-emotional skills, and improve literacy and math performance, with the goal of helping students persevere through challenges and stay engaged in school. The organization operates across four New York City communities—East Harlem, the South Bronx, East New York, and Jackson Heights—where it collaborates with schools and teachers to create learning environments that address both academic and holistic student needs. As part of its broader mandate, CYNY also partners with the NYC Department of Education’s Office of Community Schools to expand access to services such as healthcare and additional learning and adult programs, integrating its approach within a community-centered school framework. City Year New York is based in Manhattan and operates within the nonprofit sector focused on education and youth development.
