  • Support the management of ACMs to meet City Year professional standards and to meet all hours and graduation requirements.

  • Manage, lead, and develop Alumni AmeriCorps members (AACMs)/Team Leader(s) to ensure they are empowered to assist with leading teams of ACMs.

Partner Impact Delivery: Build and cultivate relationships with key stakeholders to enhance service performance and ensure partners want to retain a City Year team the following school year.

  • Maintain a strong presence in schools by cultivating and maintaining key relationships.
  • Use student data strategically to gain support for initiatives and interventions.

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
