Pros

Great experience in gaining an understanding in educational and economic disparities. Work in a diverse group of accepting, intellectual peers.

Cons

Tough with little pay. Terrible bureaucracy and political circle jerks. City year culture is not for everyone and can easily rub you the wrong way from the get go. You leave either loving City Year or hating it.

Pros

You do very meaningful work and the staff truly care about you and what you are doing.

Cons

School placements can be quite far from where you live, and the days are long (7:30 am - 5 pm). Often is exhausting, but you stay for the kids.
