Apply to Chicago Spring Break Immersion - Visit Teach for America & City Year!
Interested in what options are available to work in the nonprofit sector? Are you exploring possibilities for a gap year or two? Two great organizations, Teach for America and City Year provide great options for students who have a passion for service.
The Career Center will be bringing a group of students to visit both Teach for America and City Year's downtown Chicago locations over Spring Break. On this Immersion students will get to ask questions about what service opportunities look like in regards to a job, hear experiences of corp members, learn about recruiting processes, and more!
City Year is an education focused, nonprofit organization that unites diverse young leaders for a year of full-time service to make a difference in the lives of children by working to close the achievement gap in low performing schools in 27 U.S. locations, in London and South Africa.
Every year, nearly 3,000 young people join City Year and dedicate 11 months to make a lasting impact on students and communities across the country. #makebetterhappen is a place where you can hear some of the great things that are happening every day, from the corps members themselves. It's a place where thousands of stories all add up to #makebetterhappen.
Teach For America works in partnership with communities to expand educational opportunity for children facing the challenges of poverty. Founded in 1990, Teach For America recruits and develops a diverse corps of outstanding college graduates and professionals to make an initial two-year commitment to teach in high-need schools and become lifelong leaders in the movement to end educational inequity. Today, 8,800 corps members are teaching in 52 urban and rural regions across the country while more than 42,000 alumni work across sectors to ensure that all children have access to an excellent education.
