New York City Public Schools (NYCPS) is the largest public school system in the United States, serving approximately 1 million students across more than 1,600 schools in all five boroughs. Our schools are powered by over 75,000 teachers and thousands of paraprofessionals, school counselors, social workers, administrators, and central office professionals—each playing a vital role in delivering bright starts and bold futures for every student.
NYCPS reflects the city it serves: vibrant, diverse, and dynamic. We are deeply committed to equity, inclusion, and excellence in education. Our workforce mirrors the cultural richness of New York City, and we actively recruit individuals from all backgrounds to help shape the future of urban education.
Whether you're looking to teach, support, lead, or innovate—there’s a place for you at NYC Public Schools. Join us in building a school system where every student is seen, supported, and set up to thrive.
City Year helps students and schools succeed, while preparing the next generation of leaders. City Year AmeriCorps members provide support to students, classrooms and the whole school. Schools that partner with City Year are up to two to three times more likely to improve in English and math assessments, and the more time students spend with AmeriCorps members, the more they improve on skills that help students thrive in school and contribute to their community.
A proud member of the AmeriCorps national service network, City Year is supported by AmeriCorps, local school districts and private philanthropy. City Year partners with public schools in 29 communities across the U.S. and through international affiliates in the U.K. and South Africa.
