My daughter is on her fifth quarter of college and is thinking about doing City Year next year.

City Year: give a year. change the world.
The program has a few dozen sites in large cities focusing on keeping students in school through volunteer mentoring. 10 month commitment.

This morning is the first I have heard of the program. She was home for three weeks and didn't mention it. Other options were a year abroad of studying, internships, or just staying in school. Since she hasn't developed a focused career plan, some time off seems prudent.

Anyone have experience with this program? How is it funded - satisfaction of participants, accommodations, costs etc.

I know the Pelican Brain Trust is better than a Google search!
