our experiences as city year americorps members - TRUE REVIEW!

welcome to another video about my highly recommended americorps program that I shared a 'week in the life' about last year. in this video you will learn all about what city year is in more detail, and opinions from four different voices of corps members that served in memphis.
hope you enjoy! and thank you to my lifelong besties kris, fred, and derick for your insight for this video!

Hello!! I have a questionnn if you don’t mind. How do you get assigned to schools? do they give you a school closest to your home or is it random? Also, how do you get assigned class grades and subjects (reading, math, science, etc.) I’d really appreciate this!! thank youuu❤

hii thank you for your comment! for memphis we did do a survey that asked things like what was the preference for grade level, subjects, where you live, etc. and then i think they tried their best to take everyone’s wishes into consideration, but ofc it can’t always be the best for everyone so sometimes you can be a bit of a drive away but you at least get the age range you want! also for my actual grade and subject placement after i got assigned an elementary school, it might depend on the school but my school was like hey, here are the openings we have, and then me and the 2 new mid-year corps members kinda discussed and chose the class we wanted!
