The nonprofit organization City Year, is looking for team leaders to lead their youth in community service, activities and discussions for three Saturday's a month from January through May and for an overnight retreat in mid-December. This opportunity is with their Young Heroes Program which is a leadership development and service learning program for middle school youth in Providence and Kent County. City Year was founded upon the belief that young people can change the world.
