Formally, City Year is a nonprofit Americorps organization that unites young people of all backgrounds for a demanding year of full-time service. As tutors, mentors, and role models, these idealistic leaders make a difference in the lives of children, and transform schools and neighborhoods across the US and in South Africa.
Informally, City Year is a bunch of sleep-deprived college kids, who are a dangerous combination of directionless and strong-minded, drive big, unmarked, white vans to schools, and prance and dance on a regular basis in very obvious locations. They are renowned for drinking too much metaphoric Kool-aid; when they're drinking real Kool-aid, it's made from a mix they bought using food stamps.
Oddly enough, people seem to really appreciate having bunches of teenagers dressed in City Year's trademark red (or yellow) jackets hanging around.
This is likely due to the fact that City Year members get a crapload more positive work done than a fair chunk of the people who get all the credit in the nation, at about 1/23984th the salary.

"I was once a depressed and unacademic middle school youth, but ever since those City Year guys showed up, I have learned to be the change I wish to see in my community!"

An incredible band from Minnesota. Not your typical run of the mill crap pop punk band. City of Sound is just as amazing live as they are on cd. Members: Danny Morrison, Braden Dickie, Jeremey Kindvall, Levi Merry.

AKA Melbourne, Australia.
Currently run by Mayor Robert Doyle. Little Robbie sits extremely right and has publically announced he hates bogans – such irony as bogans too are a racist lot, predominately have white skin, often have low to no social morals and live only for the next cash injection.
People often waste valuable breath comparing Melbourne and Sydney.
Visit both and you will see why travellers are begging for the time they wasted in Sydney back.

"We lose confidence glued to computer monitors
World's apart within a few kilometres
Anonymous expats drifting through the metropolis
Close my eyes and vision a new apocalypse
Revenge of the everyday folk, burn down the city and regenerate growth
Watch the flames rise like the end of Waco
Skyscrapers fall in a breath of grey smoke
What happened to the corner stone, you don't celebrate or support your own?
There's no tolerance to those who walk below
Burn City - the city that I call my home" - Pegz
