HEADQUARTERS FOR IDEALISM: ALUMNI & FAMILIES CAMPAIGN

The Headquarters for Idealism will serve as a permanent home for City Year’s Boston, national and international operations and as a transformative resource for corps members and the youth and communities we serve.  More than just a building, the Headquarters for Idealism represents a major milestone for City Year and the national service movement:

HQ4Idealism Front

IMAGINE: a national civic landmark - in the heart of Boston - that celebrates and empowers the idealism of young adults and people of all ages.

IMAGINE: the Headquarters of Idealism, where on any given day, members of City Year's 11,000-strong alumni network are convening as citizen leaders and social entrepreneurs.

IMAGINE: How you be a supporter and investor in the permanence of City Year and the Alumni Association in our communities.



GET INVOLVED
As alumni of City Year’s corps and staff, you are important members of City Year’s community as well as stakeholders of the organization’s future.  As such, it is our hope that City Year’s alumni will join together in supporting the Headquarters for Idealism.

As part of the $15 million capital campaign for the new headquarters, our goal is for staff and corps alumni and families to contribute $250,000 to sponsor the Alumni Conference Room and Resource Center.  All alumni contributions to the building can be split between the Headquarters campaign and the City Year site of their choosing.

As part of its “Challenge,” Kresge will award the full grant to City Year if we succeed in raising $250,000 from alumni and families. Your gift to the campaign will leverage an additional $850,000 from the foundation once the Challenge is met.

Within the new headquarters, there will be community spaces and a resource center where alumni can further their leadership development and civic engagement:

Civic Leadership Forum as theatre of idealism: first floor of the 55,000 square foot headquarters will come equipped with video screens, banners, and murals of civic heroes and be made available to alumni and community organizations across the city.

Alumni Conference Room: official meeting space for alumni to convene as a community of idealists, to plan civic forums and alumni conferences, and to support national service.

Alumni Resource Center: the headquarters will have a permanent home for alumni where they will have access to computer terminals and professional development resources.

MORE INFORMATION:  For more information on the Alumni & Families campaign or to pledge a gift, please contact: Sean McDevitt, Alumni Director, at smcdevitt@cityyear.org or 617-927-2588.
