Join us in celebrating 15 Years of City Year UK 🎉 2024 marks our 15th anniversary. In 2009 the City Year UK pilot started with seven trailblazing young volunteers who were inspired by a simple offer: ‘Give a year. Change the world - by supporting children in your own community’. Our organisation has since expanded in the West Midlands in 2013 followed by Greater Manchester in 2015. ⭐ Since 2009, City Year UK has trained and supported over 1,800 young adults to coach and mentor over 17,000 pupils in need of extra help and contributed to a positive learning environment for over 136,000 children. 🙌 To celebrate this momentous occasion we want to share inspirational stories from across those 15 years, demonstrating the incredible impact our mentors have made in the lives of the children and young people we serve. 🚀 Have you volunteered with us in the past or perhaps have had a City Year mentor throughout school who shaped who you are today? We'd love to hear from you. 🫵 🔗Head to our website to find out how you can get in touch with us and share your City Year story: https://lnkd.in/euCKe6Vk #CityYearUK #15Years #15thAnniversary #VolunteerImpact #MentoringMatters #EducationMatters #MakeADifference #InspiringStories #CelebratingSuccess

Tackling educational inequality through voluntary mentoring
About us
City Year UK is a youth and education charity which empowers diverse 18 to 25-year-olds to tackle educational inequality through a year of full-time volunteering in schools. Our vision is of a society where the transformative power of full-time social action in schools is an integral part of growing up in the UK; supporting every child and young person to achieve their full potential. City Year mentors inspire, coach and tutor children of all ages to overcome social, emotional and academic barriers to learning and, by realising pupils’ potential, realise their own. Often volunteering in their own communities, they gain real world experience, standout skills and new networks that will set them up for any career. City Year UK's volunteers are integral to the school day. They encourage pupils both in and out of the classroom to engage with and enjoy learning, while developing their own skills. Our volunteers benefit from additional training, delivered by experts from across the education, business and voluntary sectors. City Year was first established in Boston, Massachusetts in 1988 and operates in 27 cities across America, as well as Johannesburg in South Africa. City Year UK launched in London in 2010 and has since expanded to the West Midlands and Greater Manchester.

As Associate Director of Programmes at City Year UK, I see firsthand how City Year mentors light up school environments with their passion for social change, determination and desire to make a difference. In addition they also develop as leaders and gain skills for their future career. This #GivingTuesday I’m supporting City Year UK because every child and young person should have the chance to achieve their full potential.

Incredibly grateful to have been able to talk to the City Year UK national cohort this morning about the 16 Days of Activism Campaign, and raise some awareness about the horrific status of women's rights, and how we can work towards the future that women and girls deserve. Thank you City Year UK for giving me the space to talk about something I'm so passionate about 💫 #NoExcuse #16DaysOfActivism2024

Last week we donated more than 250 computer monitors to our longstanding Vertex Foundation partner City Year UK, during a recent visit to the City of London Academy Islington. This was an exciting chance for us to see City Year mentors in action supporting students in their lessons and getting to hear from young people what motivates them to help others. It was clear to see the positive impact the mentors are having on childrens’ education, and social and emotional skills, and we saw first-hand how our monitors will aid this inspiring work at one of the many schools City Year supports across the UK. Thank you, City Year, for such an insightful day.

🎉 This week we're celebrating the 10th anniversary of the Morgan Stanley Strategy Challenge! Back in 2021 our organisation was fortunate enough to benefit from the expertise of a dedicated team of Morgan Stanley professionals who worked closely with us for nine weeks to help us grow the City Year UK programme in a sustainable way. Our team went on to win the challenge which was a real joy and testament to the fantastic work they put in. The findings and recommendations have been extremely valuable and provided us with a solid framework to help achieve our long term ambitions and have an even greater impact on tackling educational inequality. 🎯📈 🔗Tap the link to learn more: https://lnkd.in/dVB93SEE #MSGivesBack #StrategyChallenge
