City Year Serve-a-thon originated as an idea to expose communities to the idealism and culture of City Year, as well as fundraise for corps members so they can continue their work in schools and communities for an entire year. During Serve-a-thon, City Year corps members, community officials, volunteers, students and business leaders unite to beautify green spaces, transform schools, paint murals and provide much needed support to community organizations.
