Happy Teacher Appreciation Week!

Organizational Value of the Month: Teamwork

Mon, 06 May 2013 09:35:36 -0400

We strive to work powerfully together in a unified effort to achieve our goals.

City Year believes in the power of teams. When diverse individuals unite, collaborate, and dream together in pursuit of a shared vision, the team becomes more powerful than the sum of its individual parts. We are inspired by anthropologist Margaret Mead’s provocative insight about the power of small groups with a purpose.

She said, “Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful, committed citizens can change the world. Indeed, it is the only thing that ever has.”

That’s why City Year has made teamwork essential to everything we do. From corps members who serve daily on inclusive teams to support student success to senior leaders who work collaboratively to advance our organizational goals and mission, everyone at City Year operates as part of team.

Teamwork maximizes impact and engenders respect, empathy, understanding, communication, insight, patience, creativity, and joy. For this reason, we have made teamwork central to all that we do.
