City Year Experiences

Anyone have a child that did City Year following graduation? My college senior is considering it so was interested to hear any feedback good or bad. Considering becoming a teacher but wants to get some real world experience before investing time and money in getting additional education. Seems like a better fit compared to Teach for America which I think might be too much pressure to have your own class with little training. I believe with City Year you are more of a support resource.

Thanks in advance.

I have a family member who did City Year. He taught chemistry and had his own class He hated it, left after a year and went to medical school. I know others who liked it.

I also know students who did TFA following graduation.

You can PM me if you want.
