PITW# 127: Embrace Change!
City Year is always changing, like sand beneath our feet. That’s good. Learn to love change. Change is what keeps the organization moving forward. The ancient Greek idea of torsos is at work at City Year: a boat is at sea, and to survive the journey without docking the boat, the crew must fix and replace every board, one at a time, while at sea; by the time the boat returns to the harbor, it is a completely different boat; but of course, it is the same boat. Every year there is new change to be embraced- the growth of the corps, new locations, and new ideas!

PITW #156: Take care that personal agendas do not impede your ability to learn, grow and contribute.
We all have special concerns, insights and sensitivities that we carry with us seven days a week, 24 hours a day. These concerns, insights and sensitivities are very important. However, we all must be very careful not to let them harden into an overriding personal agenda that prevents us from having the flexibility to learn and grow, receive new information, examine new ways of thinking — or most importantly — get our work done and meet our commitments.

Every day our corps members make a difference in schools and communities. Thank you to all of our corps members of the past, present and future for being GIANTS!

“The energy and idealism of the younger generation is crucial to making sure students in high-need schools across America stay on track — and, with this effort, City Year is boldly unleashing it in service of that cause.” – David Gergen
