City Year

We’re grateful to our national partners at The Starbucks Foundation for continuing to fuel City Year AmeriCorps Volunteers throughout the year.

Last month, Starbucks provided a boost to all 2,000 City Year student success coaches through an extraordinary donation of coffee and other beverages.

As a longtime national partner, The Starbucks Foundation supports more than 91,000 students and City Year student success coaches annually across 19 cities.

Thank you, Starbucks Foundation, for your continued commitment to thriving communities and for showing up to make a difference for students every day.
