Each September, City Year swears in new AmeriCorps members who provide
academic support before, during and after school to at-risk L.A. youth.
Today’s Champions Breakfast will be hosted at Herbalife Nutrition
corporate offices, and follows the opening day ceremony during which 500
guests will hear from California Senate President Pro Tem Kevin de León
and other local leaders.
