Help Melissa raise funds for City Year!

I serve because I believe in a brighter future for every student. Education is the key to unlocking potential, opening doors, and creating opportunities. Every child deserves a chance to learn and grow in a supportive environment, and I know that my part- no mater how small- contributes to a foundation that will carry them forward. Seeing students gain confidence and skills is a reminder of how important it is to invest in their futures today.

Each of us has a part to play, and I know that the difference we make together is far greater than any of us could achieve alone. When we support students, we’re not only lifting up individuals—we’re strengthening communities and building a legacy. Join me in supporting City Year's mission. Together, we can create a future where every student has the chance to thrive.

City Year is a trailblazing, youth-powered organization with a dual mission: expanding educational equity for students furthest from opportunity and developing diverse leaders through national service. Research shows the more time a student spends with a City Year AmeriCorps member serving as a student success coach, the better the student outcomes—academically, socially, and emotionally. A public-private partnership, City Year is a proud member of AmeriCorps, operating in 29 U.S. cities with international affiliates in the U.K. and South Africa. Today, 40,000 alums continue to lead and serve where they live and work.
