A great day benefitting a great group of students! Extremely proud of our long-standing partnership with City Year and continued support for City Year AmeriCorps members who serve in schools every day preparing students with the social, emotional, and academic skills and mindsets they need to excel.
Santander US team members and local leadership as well as New England Revolution players and staff visited Mozart Elementary, a City Year school in the Roslindale neighborhood of Boston, on a picture perfect Fall day to volunteer beautification services for the school, including the painting of outdoor facilities, creating materials for a sensory path for the students, and packing student supply kits. City Year has been an integral partner in Santander’s efforts to improve educational outcomes in major cities across the country for over a decade. In 2022, Santander US announced a $2.5 million, three-year commitment to City Year, which included $1 million of funding through Santander Bank, N.A. to provide academic tutoring, coaching, afterschool activities and more to students in New York, Boston, Miami, Philadelphia, and Providence as well as $1.5 million for City Year Dallas through the Santander Consumer USA Inc. Foundation. An additional grant of up to $500,000 to support youth education and development in Dallas was announced last month: https://lnkd.in/eRu7pfqJ Thank you to all the volunteers who helped make the Mozart School even more special for its students!
