I'm a first year corps member for City Year Greater Philadelphia. Here, it's easier to read the blurb at the link than have me try to explain it:
http://www.whyiserve.com/
I didn't actually work in a school this past year, though. I was on an office-based team that planned all of the site's large scale physical service events. There are 17 sites so far, with one being in South Africa and Lousiana being the newest. LA is opening up next year and they want to go for Miami after that.
Before City Year I did a semester of grad school (BORING) and before that I just held down an office job as a research assistant for 7 months or so. Bleh. I know I seem flighty but I just get ancy and I HAVE to move on to something new because the alternative, staying put and dealing, produces disastrous results. It's just best that I not sit still. EVER.
