The nonprofit City Year Orlando has assigned a new team of volunteers to work with ninth-grade students at Evans High School during the 2013-14 academic year.

The corps members also will provide tutoring after school on Mondays and Thursdays, as well as assist the students during high-school club activities.
City Year is an education-focused organization that unites young people of all backgrounds for a year of full-time service to keep students in school and on track to graduation.
