| City Year South Africa (523 words) |
 | City Year was founded on the belief that a healthy and vibrant democracy depends on active, engaged citizens who commit their time, skills, and resources to address pressing problems in our communities. |
 | City Year believes in the power and idealism of young people as a means to achieving this goal by uniting a diverse corps of 18 – 25 year old South Africans from all races and backgrounds for an intensive year of full-time community service, leadership training and personal development. |
 | City Year is strongly supported by African Rainbow Minerals, Anglo American, Claude Leon Foundation, Edcon, the Department of Environmental Affairs and Tourism, JP Morgan, Standard Bank, The Timberland Company, Xstrata, and a growing number of South African private, public, and corporate partners. |
