Our Community

At City Year Philadelphia (CYP), we believe all students can succeed and that developing the skills and mindsets of children and young adults contributes to strong vibrant communities—outcomes that benefit all of us. CYP is proud to be a part of this mission, with diverse teams of AmeriCorps members serving as Student Success Coaches in schools throughout the city.

The Brian Dawkins Impact Foundation was created with a belief in the power of transformative moments to trigger a spark in young people – young people who have the desire to make positive decisions in life and just need the tools to make it happen. A trigger that will have positive ripple effects on families and ultimately, on entire communities. Leveraging the values and knowledge Brian gained over his lifetime, the Foundation is on a mission to help disadvantaged young people, families, and communities, while also promoting spiritual, cerebral, and physical wellness. The Foundation supports those who may be impacted by hardship in their lives but retain the drive and passion to succeed.
