Our Mission
How are we all going to get along? CityStep has an answer.
We start by supporting the creative self-expression of each child, strengthening their confidence and sense of self. We then bring kids together from diverse neighborhoods in a life-changing experience of collaboration and connection through movement. All of this is facilitated by scores of committed, dynamic college students who work tirelessly all year in their cities as CityStep teachers and mentors.
CityStep’s special alchemy of creativity and relationships is a powerful bulwark against the challenges children increasingly face of depression, anxiety, isolation and discord. The entire CityStep community-building experience strengthens our social fabric.

“I feel that CityStep reaches every child in a way that no other program can. I see CityStep as the golden key to helping children learn cooperation and develop self-esteem.”
“I have been in the school district for twelve years, and I have never seen such a dramatic improvement in students in such a short period of time.”
