CityStep is an arts and social impact organization that unites college students and city school children through a powerful experience of self-expression, collaboration, and mentorship.
Teams of college students fan out across the city to teach our values-based pedagogy that supports student’s wellbeing and powerfully connects them to one another. Each teaching year culminates in a performance the children help create about a theme relevant to their lives.
Both the city kids–and the college students who teach and perform with them–are profoundly changed by their CityStep experience. Kids report feeling more confident, more connected and more excited about coming to school; College students choose careers that exemplify CityStep values.
