If at any time a staff member’s employment status with City Year is terminated, the staff member will receive the benefits they have accrued through the date in which they leave. If that is not after the date for beginning service then they become ineligible for the $400 incentive.


* Beginning service is defined as the confirmed member serving with City Year on their start date.
