City Year Sacramento helps students and schools succeed while preparing the next generation of leaders who can work across the lines of difference to make a positive impact. In partnership with teachers and schools, diverse teams of City Year AmeriCorps members cultivate learning environments where students can build on their strengths, fully engage in their learning, and experience success. The event brings together community leaders, citizen supporters, and service champions to support and honor the work of City Year AmeriCorps members who dedicate themselves to a year of service in Sacramento schools. Josh Fryday, California’s Chief Service Officer, and Kenny Thomas, who had an 11-season career with the NBA, will receive the Doris Matsui Spirit of Service Award.
