City Year Columbus

What a special day! 🎉

Today marks our corps’ final day of service—and we got to celebrate it alongside Deloitte Cares Day 💙

We’re incredibly grateful to our amazing Deloitte Volunteers for joining us to create pencil pouches filled with school supplies for our students. These will be shared on the first day of school to welcome them back and kick off an incredible year ahead! ✏️📚✨

Feeling so thankful for partnerships like Deloitte that help us end the year strong and set our students up for success.

Here’s to impact, community, and new beginnings!

At our recent networking event, AmeriCorps members stepped into a relaxed, real-world experience—putting their skills into practice while connecting with incredible community champions, leaders, and mentors across a variety of career fields.

Thank you to all who joined us and made the afternoon so meaningful. Your guidance and conversations helped bring this experience to life!

As we close out the service year, our Corps spent yesterday afternoon giving back and supporting organizations across our community

Huge thank you to Dress for Success Columbus, Furniture Bank of Central Ohio, and Franklinton Farms for welcoming our members—we had such a fun and meaningful time supporting your work!

Grateful to close out this Corps service year making an impact together

✨ It’s the final week of service for our incredible AmeriCorps members! ✨

What a year it’s been—full of laughter, connection, collaboration, and so much growth. Not just for the students we serve, but for every AmeriCorps member and staff person along the way.

We’re so proud to celebrate this amazing 2025–2026 Corps and all they’ve accomplished.

We can’t wait to see the impact they’ll continue to make beyond this service year.

Earlier this month, our incredible AmeriCorps members came together for a meaningful service project to support our students as we head into summer.

They created over 150 hygiene kits and completed the assembly of 200 Student Close-Out kits alongside our partners at Moody Nolan—ensuring our students have the essentials they need to kick off summer learning strong.

These kits were distributed across all five of our partner schools, supporting the students we have the privilege of working with every day this school year.

We’re so grateful for the dedication, teamwork, and heart that made this possible!

✨ Last day of school! ✨
From the very first day to the very last, our AmeriCorps members have been there—showing up every single day to support students’ academic and personal growth. Because showing up truly matters. 💙

One student said it best in a note to a member:
"This is the last day of school and I want to appreciate all of your hard work. Thank you."

Moments like this are what it’s all about

As we approach the end of an incredible service year, we are thrilled to celebrate our amazing AmeriCorps members and the students they’ve supported every step of the way.

From classrooms to communities, their impact has been powerful—and it’s not over yet.

We’re finishing this year strong with our year-end campaign, and we invite you to join us. Your support helps us continue making a meaningful difference for students across Columbus.

Together, we can ensure this impact continues to grow.

Join us. Support our corps. Invest in our students.

Our AmeriCorps members are loving the science unit at Trevitt Elementary! 🐣💛
The 3rd graders are getting a hands-on learning experience with their very own baby chickens—bringing science to life as they explore life cycles, growth, and the responsibility of caring for animals.
Moments like these make learning unforgettable! ✨

We’re incredibly grateful to partner with Curriculum Associates to bring the Magnetic Reading curriculum and individualized learning support to our students every single day 📚✨
