Overview of Young Adult Success Corps Program for Host Sites
Young Adult Success Corps, a branch of City Service Corps, is an AmeriCorps program launched by NYC Service in coordination with the Department of Probation, to recruit young adults to serve part-time from September 1, 2023 - June 2024 at City agency and Community-Based Organizations (CBO) host sites. The Young Adult Success Corps addresses impact areas that tackle critical capacity and community-related issues throughout New York City.
City Service Corps Mission: City Service Corps partners with City agencies to address critical local needs through direct engagement with residents, the development of new programming, and the management of resident-facing programming.
City Service Corps Vision: New York residents will have a better understanding of and access to programs designed to positively impact their quality of life.
Note: As members are not considered employees of the City of New York but rather are AmeriCorps members who are placed at agencies for their term of service, members do not count towards agency headcount.
