Join an Alumni Advisory Board

As City Year continues to build a sustainable organization, it seeks to draw upon the vision, passion, and talents of its alumni community.  Local alumni chapters are led by each site’s Alumni Advisory Board who mobilize fellow alumni and ensure the long-term success and sustainability of the alumni program. Structure:  Working in partnership with site staff, the board leads, plans, implements, and evaluates alumni program activities. The board achieves its goals by organizing key initiatives that mobilize local alumni around major City Year events, corps support and fundraising initiatives, and the four signature alumni events.
