Pros

You work on a team of 8-10 people, all from different backgrounds. Corps Members shape the program and bring new ideas which may be incorporated into the culture of City Year.

Cons

This organization is run by competent people that are 40 and under. Everyone is growing together, but this can be a pro and con. Sometimes, Corps Members do things that management doesn't like and management does things that Corps Members do not like. However, City Year allows all of its members to face their conflict and not run from it. This organization allows all members to voice their concerns and opinions. I would advise any 17-24 year old to join City Year, however, expect a lot of work (45-55 hours a week), with little pay.
