The Uniform
City Year corps members wear a distinctive uniform, issued by the organization - a red bomber jacket worn with khaki pants and Timberland boots. Two City Year sites, San José/Silicon Valley and Los Angeles, wear yellow bomber jackets. This is because red is a charged color in the communities in which they serve.
The high-visibility jacket and distinctive boots have become synonymous with the organization, whether in schools or throughout the surrounding communities.
The uniform ensures that corps members are easily recognizable as members and representatives of City Year, helping to ensure continuity from year to year.
