Last summer national economic mobility organization City Corps opened their second ever branch in downtown Birmingham, Birmingham Corps.

According to their website City Corps aims to help community members transform a passion service into a lifelong career.

Founding executive director of Birmingham Corps Yamini Bhat said her years working with the city and local nonprofits inspired her to build on the great work many people in the metro have already been doing for years.

How long has Birmingham Corps existed and what was the inspiration for its founding?

So, we officially launched June 16 of 2022 and the launch was made possible due to a sizable investment that was awarded to us by City Corps. City Corps is a national platform that invests in overlooked cities with unique talents.
