While your City Year begins full-time on Monday, July 29th 2013, you are required to be at a half-day in-person registration the week before.  At registration you will sign employment paperwork, verify your AmeriCorps registration, learn about your benefits and complete your background checks.  It is mandatory that you take part in this in-person registration date.  If for any reason you are unable to attend you must contact the City Year admissions team as soon as possible to discuss your circumstances.  Failure to participate in registration may prevent you from serving with City Year Los Angeles.

Sessions will take place in the morning or afternoon and you will only have to attend one, half-day session.  Sessions will be assigned to you in the early summer

Tell us a little bit about yourself without saying anything at all!

Take a picture with your City Year sticker that represents who you are and what you will bring to the corps. For example, you and your CY sticker in front of your hometown monument, wearing your favorite team’s logo or perhaps those things together.  Use your imagination and have fun!  Email sweiner@cityyear.org if you didn’t receive a sticker in your welcome packet.

• Make sure your face is lit. We want to see your beautiful smile! Avoid shadows & dark settings.
• Is that an ant or a corps member? Stay close and in focux. Stand proudly in the foreground to get a great shot with the sticker.
• Avoid submitting group shots.  This makes it easier for us to identify who will soon be rocking a yellow jacket.
• Please don’t submit photos with minors. By submitting a photo you agree to let City Year Los Angeles use your photo for a blog post and photo collage.

I took my photo now what?

• Send your picture to sweiner@cityyear.org so we can add yours to the collage of the incoming corps!
• Upload your photo to the City Year Los Angeles Facebook group (https://www.facebook.com/groups/CityYearLA/ ) and share it with us on twitter by tagging @CityYearLA and using the #IamCYLA hashtag.
