Creating an opportunity pipeline with City Year

City Year is an education nonprofit organization with a powerful double bottom line: improved outcomes for students in systemically under-resourced schools and the cultivation of AmeriCorps members to be the next generation of leaders in their communities and careers. Deloitte collaborates with City Year to support their efforts in a multitude of ways.

More than 500 Deloitte volunteers developed their own skills through engagements such as AI hackathons, Impact Day events, pro bono consulting projects, professional development, and in-person service opportunities. Additionally, Deloitte has created an annual dedicated pipeline for the recruitment of City Year AmeriCorps members, annual funding, and service on 20 local boards of directors.

In Fiscal Year 2023, Deloitte launched the first formalized recruiting efforts targeting AmeriCorps members working for City Year. This integrated recruiting pipeline provides purpose-driven AmeriCorps members an opportunity to build their professional careers through applying to three Deloitte pathways.

We also offered AmeriCorps members a fourth pathway called “hire-to-train,” featuring eight weeks of focused pre-start training. More than 2,000 City Year AmeriCorps members engaged with Deloitte recruiting materials such as case prep packets, 230 AmeriCorps members participated in information sessions, and 120 resumes were submitted. From this group, we offered 60 interviews and hired 24 new Deloitte professionals.
