Meet Thanaa Muhammad, a City Year ’23–’24 alum who turned her year of service into a lasting career path. From recess games to one-on-one student support, her year of service not only shaped her future but also deepened her commitment to helping young people thrive.

This month we sat down with City Year alum Cristian King (Seattle/King County 2014-15) to hear about his life post-graduation, and how his service at City Year has shaped his entire career. 

This month we sat down with City Year alum Cristian Casanova (2017-18) to catch up on what he’s been up to since graduation, and to hear some of his pretty moving reflections on his year of service. Cristian recently returned home from Geneva where he participated in the 2024 Global Shaper Summit at the World Economic Forum. Hear how his time with City Year set him on this changemaker path, and continues to inspire his work at Accenture.

At City Year San Jose/Silicon Valley, we are incredibly proud of our Alumni and strive to provide a continued sense of community as they embark onto the next phase of their journey. This month, we are featuring Caitlin Donnelly, Americorps volunteer for the 2022-2023 school year. Read about Caitlin’s City Year experience below!
