Pros

A corps member experience at City Year is quite good because it opens you up to opportunities that others don't have access to. This is because City Year has good sponsors. So I got to meet the former editor of the times, which was quite interesting.

Cons

Committing to the program requires a lot of resilience. The incentives to stay in the program are quite low. Sometimes the schools you are placed don't integrate City Year correctly, so it can be difficult when no one knows what you are meant to do. Plus the pay is only £100 a week.

Pros

connecting with the students will be one of the most rewarding takeways.

Cons

- lack of admin initiative, at times it feels we are being criticized for our job when we get paid crumbs (11$ and hour after tax, california).
