Pros

People are motivated, passionate, and invested in each others' success. The staff is diverse, young, and promotes a "get it done" attitude. City Year is truly values driven. Opportunities for early career professionals to take on many responsibilities and for upward advancement.

Cons

Leadership are not experts in the field in which they practice. The pivot to education reform from general community service has caused problems as staff at all levels are ill-equipped to transform 18-24 year olds into effective academic interventionists in 9 months time.
