DEAR FRIENDS,

very day, City Year AmeriCorps members are demonstrating that national service is a powerful way to support students, teachers and schools. City Year is fully focused on dramatically improving America’s high school graduation pipeline by bringing muchneeded people power – idealistic, highly motivated young adults in national service – to our nation’s highest-need urban schools. Our City Year AmeriCorps members are providing solutions that work for our country’s urban schools, including championing early warning indicator and intervention systems, investing in student social-emotional development, helping to differentiate instruction for each student in a classroom, and expanding the learning day. Through our Whole School, Whole Child service model, trained, committed City Year AmeriCorps members serve as full-time tutors, mentors and role models throughout the school year, in urban elementary, middle

and high schools where often a majority of students need extra support. The City Year corps – 2,500 strong in the 2012-2013 school year – provides one-on-one support for students, supports teachers in their classrooms, and leads before and after-school programs and schoolwide initiatives to improve student academic achievement and school culture. We are pleased, in our 2013 annual report, to highlight the exciting role that national service can play to help keep students in school and on track to graduation, to profile some of the people and champions at the heart of City Year, and to recognize and thank the generous donors, dedicated sponsors, and committed public education and AmeriCorps partners who make our work possible. We are deeply grateful to everyone who enables City Year to harness the idealism and energy of dedicated young adults to help students and schools succeed.

Sincerely,

Michael Brown, CEO & Co-Founder

Jim Balfanz, President

Jonathan Lavine, Chair, Board of Trustees

Education researchers have identified a number of evidence-based strategies that are getting positive results for students attending high-poverty schools. In schools across the country, City Year is providing the critically needed, additional people power to effectively implement these practices. In the following pages, we describe several of the proven practices that City Year AmeriCorps members deliver during their year of full-time service in nearly 250 of America’s highest-need schools. Through City Year’s school-based service model, Whole School Whole Child, committed City Year AmeriCorps members serve as tutors, mentors, and role models throughout the school year, in urban elementary, middle and high schools where often a majority of students need extra support. Every corps member receives more than 300 hours of professional training on topics including, data-informed instructional planning, intervention strategies for math and literacy, and effective coaching and mentoring. As near-peers, younger than teachers but older than students, corps members are uniquely positioned to form a strong bond with students to help them succeed. Across the country, City Year’s young people— through their year-long commitment to full-time national service—are helping to transform some of our most troubled schools, at a fraction of the cost of other solutions.

NATIONAL SERVICE POWERING PROVEN EDUCATION STRATEGIES HIGHLIGHTS FROM THE FIELD 5

EARLY WARNING INDICATOR AND INTERVENTION SYSTEMS Research indicates that three early warning indicators—poor Attendance, poor Behavior, and Course failure in English or math – the ABCs – are valid predictors of whether or not a student will drop out of school. If a sixth grader in a high-poverty school has even one of these indicators, he or she has less than a 20 percent chance of graduating from high school on time. Early Warning Indicator and Intervention Systems (EWS) centralize data in a single location so that educators can frequently review this data, determine what interventions are needed to meet each student’s unique needs, and monitor the interventions’ effectiveness. Absence of enough people power in schools can often stand in the way of effective use of EWS, but City Year AmeriCorps members help make EWS possible. Corps members partner with teachers and administrators to identify students with an earlywarning indicator pointing to a need for extra attention, then work together to ensure that the right students receive the right supports at the right time. For chronically absent students, for example, corps members aim to uncover issues at the root of a student’s absences and help to put the proper supports in place to improve his or her attendance, whether it’s providing a wake-up call or helping to coordinate a ride to school. City Year corps members implement the research-based Response to Intervention framework (RTI) to provide student supports. The RTI framework includes three tiers of support: Tier 1 – school-wide supports, Tier 2 – targeted extra help for struggling students and Tier 3 – intensive interventions for the most at-risk students. Using the RTI framework, City Year teams provide school-wide (Tier 1) supports as well as collaborate with educators at the beginning of the school year to analyze early warning indicator data to determine a “focus list” of up to 20 students per City Year AmeriCorps member who require evidence-based, individualized interventions to achieve their full potential (Tier 2 supports).

THE RESEARCH: Why National Service is Needed to Implement EWS and RTI systems: According to a 2010 survey by the American Association of School Administrators, 81% of school leaders report lacking the trained, dedicated individuals needed to consistently and effectively implement RTI systems.

EWS in Action at City Year At Clinton Middle School in the Los Angeles Unified School District, a Diplomas Now partnership school, an EWS team of teachers, counselors, and City Year and Communities in Schools personnel monitor students’ progress at least every two weeks. Together they have generated impressive outcomes: the school improved substantially on California’s Academic Performance Indicator Scale and significantly decreased the number of students exhibiting an early warning indicator.

EXPANDED LEARNING TIME Research has shown that consistent participation in high-quality expanded learning programs can help close the achievement gap that divides low-income students from their more affluent peers. Ideal extended learning time activities build upon, clarify, and explore topics covered in class, giving students the opportunity to go deeper with materials and unearth any problem areas that prevent them from moving forward. The challenge is that many schools and school districts lack the financial and staffing resources to run robust expanded learning programs. City Year provides schools with additional capacity to run expanded learning activities, at a low cost. As a consistent presence in the classroom, City Year AmeriCorps members are familiar with the curriculum and are already helping teachers provide extra support to students who need it. In addition, corps members commit hours before and after school providing one-on-one tutoring, ensuring that students are grasping key concepts. They also plan and lead enrichment activities, such as science club, improvisation groups and sports activities, that can reinforce daily lessons and help students connect to school in rich, meaningful ways.

THE RESEARCH: Why Expanded Learning Time Matters “Both research and practice indicate that adding time to the school schedule can have a meaningfully positive impact on student achievement and, indeed, upon a child’s entire educational experience.” – The National Center on Time and Learning

Expanded Learning Time in Action at City Year In 2013 City Year San José corps members serving in the Alum Rock School district worked to expand the learning day for the sixth grade in two highneed middle schools. Corps members made it possible for schools to extend the day by three hours, from 3 p.m. to 6 p.m. – the equivalent of increasing the number of school days by 90 days or 50%. In less than a year, the percentage of 6th graders in these two schools who achieved the proficiency/advanced level of English Language Arts increased from 13% to 36%.

DIFFERENTIATED INSTRUCTION Research clearly demonstrates that individualized learning opportunities help fuel student success. But the way America’s schools are organized hasn’t always kept pace with what research has shown about how students learn. When public schools were designed a century ago, they were expected to provide extra support to 15 percent of students. But in an average high-poverty school today, as many as half or more students require more than a strong lesson every day. City Year calls the gap between what students need and what schools were designed to provide, the implementation gap. Given the current structure of most of the nation’s urban schools, it is very difficult to meet—even for the most experienced, most dedicated, most talented teacher—the individualized learning needs of every student in their class. City Year AmeriCorps members help bridge the gap: helping schools provide additional individualized attention to students. Because corps members are a constant presence throughout the school day, they can provide a variety of supports: one-on-one tutoring and helping to facilitate small group work during class time, and reinforcing key concepts before and after school, or during lunch. This individualized attention benefits not only students who might be struggling, but also the entire class, because it allows a teacher more flexibility; a teacher can instruct at a pace that’s comfortable for the majority of students and differentiate instruction for students who are either more advanced or in danger of falling behind.

Differentiated Instruction in Action at City Year “Students have such a range of skills and abilities that it is imperative that teachers differentiate their instruction to meet the students where they are. Having a City Year corps member in the classroom makes this so much more possible. The teacher can plan small group instruction and know that Travis Holloway @THolloway_CY 24m can the City Year can help manage and instruct one of the groups, or the City Year corps member Mostdoing kids who drop out work think while they have no other option. manage the whole class independent the teacher conferences with students oneI help There them find one. #makebetterhappen on-one at his or her desk. are many ways to differentiate but having another adult in the room makes it so much more doable and successful.” – Sean Shirley-Davidson 11 Head of Middle School, Neighborhood House Charter School, Boston, MA

SOCIAL-EMOTIONAL DEVELOPMENT Research demonstrates that social-emotional development, the process of developing self-management and interpersonal skills in the context of safe, well-managed and engaging environments, is an important contributor to student success. Not only does a systemic focus on social-emotional development better prepare individual students to meet their academic goals, but it also helps transform the whole school by promoting school-wide cultural norms and standards related to student responsibility and efficacy, and interactions between peers, students and adults. In school climates with trust, respect and support, students are much more likely to connect with the adults in the building and their school as a community. This is particularly important because the student-school connection leads to engagement on many levels. For example, students are more likely to work hard and to be involved with positive activities inside and outside of school time if they feel strongly connected to school. City Year AmeriCorps members contribute to the creation of a safe, positive learning environment where students feel connected to school and can focus their energy on their academic goals. Corps members, who conduct school-wide climate and culture activities and mentor students, are relatively close in age to students and are a constant presence before, during and after school. Because of this, corps members are able to relate to students in a way thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s different from teachers. The rich, trusting relationships corps members forge with students they mentor encourages students to share openly, which can help corps members uncover the root of a studentâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s struggles and help to explain disruptive or distracted behavior. Corps members communicate this insight to teachers and administrators, making for a more fully informed school community that can address studentsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; individual needs.

THE RESEARCH: Why Social-Emotional Development Matters

Social-Emotional Development in Action at City Year:

“A growing body of research shows that socialemotional learning is an important part of student development. It facilitates academic growth, positive school climate, and caring communities, and prepares students to become responsible citizens.”

A comparison field study—conducted by Brett Consulting Group—of behavior, climate and culture activities in 31 City Year schools found significant positive differences in the impact of City Year AmeriCorps members on school climate. In test schools, teachers gave corps members significantly higher assessments related to improving: overall student focus and order in the classroom; reducing the number of conflicts between students; and improving student focus and readiness at the start of day.

DIPLOMAS NOW ATTENDANCE Cardozo High School in Washington, DC had the highest student attendance increase of any public high school in the district, improving its overall attendance rate by 20 percentage points from the prior school year.

PERCENTAGE POINT INCREASE REPEATING THE NINTH GRADE South High School in Columbus, OH increased the number of students matriculating to the 10th grade by 32 percentage points and reduced the number of students repeating ninth grade by 93%.

MATH PROFICIENCY Rhodes Middle School had the highest math proficiency rate of all San Antonio Independent School District middle schools for the 2012-13 school year.

Diplomas Now is an innovative school turnaround model that unites three nonprofit organizations – City Year, Communities In Schools and Talent Development – to work with the nation’s most challenged middle and high schools. Diplomas Now partners with the school community so each student at risk has the support of caring adults, and those adults have the tools to improve student success. An early warning system identifies struggling students, and the Diplomas Now team creates a plan for each student. Working with administrators and teachers, Talent Development Secondary organizes and supports schools to strengthen achievement and engagement while providing curriculum, teacher coaching and student support. City Year AmeriCorps members implement the Whole School, Whole Child service model. They welcome students to school (and call students when they don’t show up), provide tutoring in math and English, and celebrate positive behavior. After school, City Year provides homework help and engages students in service and enrichment programs. For the neediest students, Communities In Schools provides case management and connects them with community resources, such as counseling, health care, housing, food and clothing.

Investing in Innovation (i3) Grant In August 2010, the U.S. Department of Education awarded Diplomas Now a $30 million Investing in Innovation (i3) Validation Grant. Diplomas Now was the only secondary school-focused turnaround model with national reach to receive an i3 award. As a result of the grant, Diplomas Now has recruited 62 schools to participate in a rigorous third-party randomized control study of the model. Thirty-two of these schools are implementing the Diplomas Now model, while 30 schools are participating in the study as control schools. The PepsiCo Foundation, the founding investor of Diplomas Now, generously provided the $6 million match funds required by the Department of Education for the i3 grant to be formally awarded.

During the 2012-2013 school year, Diplomas Now was being implemented in 12 cities: Baton Rouge Boston Chicago Columbus Detroit Los Angeles Miami New York City Philadelphia Seattle San Antonio Washington, DC

In March of 2013, Broadmoor Middle School, a Diplomas Now school in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, was featured on PBS NewsHour as part of the American Graduate series. Said principal Denise Charbonnet: "We have lowered our suspension rate from 50 percent to 15 percent, which is below the national average. We have lowered the failure rate to 7 percent and improved attendance for each and every grade level."

Rashid Perkins City Year AmeriCorps Member City Year New York

On a typical school day, Rashid Perkins rises well before dawn. He’s out of bed at 5 a.m., early enough to make the hour-and-a-half commute from his home in Jamaica, Queens to Public School 75, an elementary school in the South Bronx. After a full day in the classroom, Rashid stays to help run programming in the afterschool program at P.S. 75. By the time he arrives home at 8:30 p.m., he’s been going full-steam for 15 hours. The most amazing thing about Rashid’s exhausting day? After a year of committing himself to this demanding schedule he signed up to do it again. Rashid is a second year City Year AmeriCorps member, spending his second year serving at a school in the Hunt’s Point neighborhood (last year he served at M.S. 434, a middle school down the block from P.S. 75). “The kids are what really excites me and keeps me up and going,” he said. A New York City native, Rashid came home to work with students in 2012 after graduating from Hobart and

William Smith College in upstate New York. Growing up in a working-class neighborhood in Queens, Rashid thinks his life could have gone in a different direction without a few critical opportunities. When he was seven years old, he first participated in the Fresh Air Fund, an organization that provides city kids with opportunities to experience nature through home stays with families in rural settings. Each summer, all the way through high school, Rashid spent a few weeks with a host family in Massachusetts. The open space and tranquility there engaged his imagination and sparked a desire to learn and explore. The summer became his motivation to stay on track in school during the year. “When I was in high school, I had this moment where I realized a lot of my friends weren’t even thinking about college. The Fresh Air Fund was my outlet,” he said. “With the kids I work with now, I can talk to them about those outlets that they can find to truly succeed.”

That ability to relate based on personal experience has helped Rashid forge connections with students at P.S. 75.

“We just practiced, practiced, practiced. It really made me feel amazing inside, thinking that something I’m doing is making a measurable difference.”

Median household income in the neighborhood around the school was just $21,562 in 2012, making it the poorest district in the city according to an annual survey of New York neighborhoods conducted by New York University. And 2013 state test results showed that students at P.S. 75 ranked well below state averages in reading and math.

Rashid has long been interested in a teaching career, and City Year has provided the opportunity to build his confidence in the classroom and hone his skills.

Though the need is high, Rashid says he can see the impact of his efforts on a daily basis. A breakthrough with a student named Michael helped Rashid see how

When his service as a City Year AmeriCorps member ends next spring, Rashid is considering graduate school or Teach For America as opportunities to continue in the field of education. For those corps members who follow in his footsteps, he has some insightful advice. “You go through a lot of trials, but at the end of the day you realize that you did something positive and touched

They compiled lists of words Michael struggled to understand and, together, researched their meanings. When Michael struggled with writing assignments, Rashid engaged him in narration exercises to organize his thoughts, transitioning to the written word once Michael felt more confident. Rashid remembers clearly the day when he helped Michael – who initially resisted composing a single paragraph – complete a five-paragraph essay during his English period.

David Jones CITY YEAR Americorps Alum and Boston Public School Teacher

On a recent Tuesday afternoon, David Jones reflected on his experiences first as City Year AmeriCorps member and now as a teacher. David is a City Year alum and a teacher at Young Achievers Academy in the Mattapan Neighborhood of Boston. City Year Boston currently serves at Young Achievers, so David is now working alongside corps members every day.

University of Kansas, many of his friends and peers struggled with a deficit of support and opportunity.

The second-year teacher works intentionally to build a culture of mutual respect among the sixth, seventh and eighth grader students in his history classes. Jones’ sense of purpose and calm presence are clear: “I haven’t had a lot of issues with behavior from my kids, and I think that’s in part because they respect me as a person, and they respect the work that I’m doing with them,” Jones said. David grew up in Kansas City, Kansas and attended an elementary school where a majority of his peers were, like him, students of color. When he was admitted to a college prep magnet school for high school, he began to grasp the scope of the inequity of opportunity in his own community. As David joined a culture with an intense focus on academic success and carved out a path toward the

“My school was focused more on college prep. It had less of the problems that you would deal with in the city’s struggling schools,” Jones said. “I had friends who were going to those schools, and I was able to see firsthand the divergent trajectories of achievement between those two groups.” At KU, David studied political science, spurred on by an interest in the experiences of his community in Kansas City. He landed a summer internship in his Congressman’s office in Washington D.C. after his junior

year in college, where he worked on legislation related to the Children’s Health Insurance Program (CHIP). That program provides health care to low income children, often through services delivered in schools. The experience brought him into contact with children in Washington-area schools and further brought to life the inequality in our country’s education system. After graduation, David took the advice of his aunt, a City Year alumna, and applied to be a corps member. He travelled to Boston, where he spent a year working with students at Jeremiah E. Burke High School in Dorchester. The experience was a challenge. In addition to adjusting to life in a new city, David sought to help his

master’s degree in education and build experience as a classroom teacher. Now in his second year teaching social studies at Young Achievers Academy, David has further developed his skills and his goals for the future. He’s working now with a group of other African American male teachers to establish a summer camp program for young men of color in the Boston area. The camp would help participants build confidence and life skills, while also teaching them to work together and develop the leadership skills within their peer group to help all succeed. “I guess the camp is like my baby. If I had had an experience like that as a young person, I think it would have given me opportunities to know people with other

Maybe my freshman year in college wouldn’t have been the culture shock that it was,” David said. “The camp is also, I think, a spin-off of what City Year provided me: idealism and social entrepreneurship. City Year trains you to always think about what can be done to address issues, and not just accept the status quo.”

“The work that I was doing at the Burke really inspired me. It gave me direction for what I wanted to do next,” he said. After completing a year of service at the Burke, David was admitted to the Boston Teachers Residency, which provided him the opportunity to earn his

city year is taking on some of the toughest work in education, including turning around the lowest-performing schools and ensuring that every student in this country is on the path to lifelong success.

These challenging efforts require all of us to play a part – from teachers, administrators, and counselors; to business leaders; philanthropies; and community members. Those who serve can fill the gap by providing services to schools and communities who need additional resources the most and by giving critical support in ways that no one else can.

when you partner with communities and with schools to serve our country’s children, you are creating opportunities for thousands of students to pursue their dreams.

How does the partnership between City Year and Alberto Carvalho was appointed the Superintendent of Miami-Dade County Public Schools improve student Miami-Dade County Public Schools, the fourth largest achievement, and help school district in the district achieve its the United States, goals? in 2008. City Year began its service City Year plays an in Miami that same integral part in increasing year.

They of the Year in are the most masterful February 2014, curriculum interventionists among several other alberto carvalho delivered the keynote address at city year’s I’ve ever met. When I talk national leadership summit in 2013. awards. about improvements in A native of Lisbon, Portugal, Carvalho immigrated to the United States after high school, and initially worked as a dishwasher in New York City to earn a living. “Education saved me; it’s made me who I am,” Carvalho says. “If you have any doubt that this is still the nation of opportunity, the nation of innovation, look at me. And as you look at me, look at 360,000 children in Miami-Dade – a reflection of the new America – who are looking for that same opportunity.”

graduation rates, when I talk about proficiency in reading, math, and science improvements, I credit a lot of these good things to teachers and those who support them – that includes City Year AmeriCorps members.

So many students face serious obstacles before they even get to school. What role do you think City Year plays in helping students overcome these obstacles? It’s my fundamental belief that the classroom is a place of learning, but the reality is that not every child arrives to school with the same readiness to learn: they arrive with varying degrees of readiness, with varying degrees of proficiency, and most often facing incredible challenges from a social perspective. Corps members help to level the playing field. They boost opportunity. They bring hope. They bring energy. They bring compassion. They bring skill. They bring will. And, above all, they bring a belief that every single child can actually succeed if they’re just given the intellectual hug they all deserve. What do you think the relationship is between opportunity and achievement? Opportunity gaps lead to achievement gaps and achievement gaps invariably lead to social and economic gaps that persist over a lifetime. It’s a vicious cycle that ensures a slave-like poverty element that is generational in many communities across America. If you do not have access to a great teacher, to a great leader, to a great school, to a great support system, to a great mentor, to a great tutor: that’s an opportunity gap. Our ability as educators, our ability as caring people in the private sector, our ability as government, our ability as teachers to ensure that we invest and intervene in that cycle is critically important. I believe City Year corps members, the red jackets, the freedom fighters of our generation, the builders of democracy, the cogs of inspiration and motivation stand as an enabler of opportunity. Why is City Year a worthwhile investment for school district leaders and others? I’m inspired by City Year because your approach is research-based. You know what works, you invest, you replicate it, and you scale it up. We invested in 80 corps members during the first year, 100 or so corps members in the second year, and now we have 200 corps members in 17 schools, including nine schools that were once in line to be shut down by the state for poor performance. The fact that City Year is working so well for thousands of kids here in Miami-Dade, should inform the rest of the nation and continue to inform the practice here in our community. It’s a best practice that must be scaled up and amplified across the nation.

80% graduation rate

In September 2008, the state

of Florida had decided to close nine Miami high schools for poor performance. The list included Edison Senior High School, which five years ago, had a graduation rate of just 45% and was considered to be one of the lowest performing and most dangerous high schools in the entire country. Superintendent Carvalho and his team took several actions, including partnering with City Year Miami. In just one year, Edison moved from an F-rated school to a C, and today is an A-rated school with an 80% graduation rate. Every one of the other eight schools – which also partnered with City Year Miami – also improved from an F to an A or B.

This Q+A is excerpted from Superintendent Carvalho’s remarks at City Year’s 2013 National Leadership Summit and from an interview provided for City Year’s ‘Blueprint’ video.

Q+A

AnnMaura Connolly Chief Strategy Officer and Executive Vice President, City Year President, Voices for National Service AnnMaura Connolly’s call to service began with her own year of service after graduating from the College of the Holy Cross, when she served with the Jesuit Volunteer Corps in Southern California. AnnMaura has been a leader in the national service movement for more than 25 years. She has served in senior positions with Youth Service America and the Corporation for National Service. Today, AnnMaura is both Chief Strategy Officer and Executive Vice President of City Year—directing City Year’s public policy, public affairs, communications, and international work— and President of Voices for National Service—a coalition of hundreds of service organizations that work together to advance citizen service policy.

Why are you so dedicated to advancing national service? Since my experience as a Jesuit Volunteer, I have been committed to the idea that every person should have the opportunity to do a year of full-time service. National service gives you the opportunity to work with people of different backgrounds to get big things done and to change the lives of the people you serve. My year of service was a game changer for me. I served with St.

Anselm’s Immigrant and Refugee Center in Garden Grove, CA and worked with refugee families who were struggling to adapt to life in the United States. I lived with six other volunteers in a tiny house in the neighborhood we served. It was a tremendously challenging and exciting year, and when I finished, I knew I wanted others to have the same opportunity that I did. Today, I believe we need national service more than ever before. As a country, we are faced with increasingly difficult choices. How can we meet the growing need for services in a challenging economy? How can we improve the lives of people in our communities and help them thrive when we can barely afford to provide them with the basic services they need to survive? That’s where national service can make a huge difference – it is a cost-effective strategy for public problem solving that leverages the most powerful resource we have: the American people.

You were at the White House 20 years ago when President Clinton swore in the first class of AmeriCorps members. What did you imagine was possible then? What makes you optimistic about the future? That was an inspiring and thrilling moment—looking out at all the young people who had stepped forward and raised their hands to serve. I knew young people would respond to AmeriCorps, and indeed they have. I continue to be optimistic about the future of national service. At City Year, I see first-hand the results that national service can achieve. City Year AmeriCorps members are having a tremendous impact in some of the country’s highest-need schools. At the same time, through my work with Voices, I see great work happening on many different issues because of the power of national service.

What does Voices for National Service do? Though more than 830,000 young people have served in AmeriCorps so far, hundreds of thousands more want the opportunity to participate. And despite the surging demand, national service is often under threat. Voices for National Service, for which I am honored to serve as President, was born out of a collective effort to save AmeriCorps from devastating cuts in 2003. From there it has grown to be a powerful force for expanding national service. The coalition is led by a volunteer Steering Committee made up of leaders from state service commissions and national and local service programs, and together, we work to build the case for the federal investment in national service, educate our nation’s leaders and the American people about the tremendous value proposition that national service represents and honor and thank leaders who take action to grow national service. In 2009 we worked together as a field to help craft and build support for the Edward M. Kennedy Serve America Act, which put forth a plan to grow AmeriCorps to 250,000 members serving annually. We haven’t achieved that goal yet but we are confident that by working together, engaging decision makers and building the strongest possible case, we will not only achieve that goal but also our vision for one million people serving every year. Time and time again, members of congress, governors, mayors, and presidents who see young people serving their country–making a difference–agree that AmeriCorps and national service are worth investing in.

At City Year, one of your responsibilities is leadership of the organization’s international work. What inspires you about working to expand service overseas? My passion is that every young person–wherever they live–be asked and given the opportunity to serve. I have had the honor of working with committed leaders in South Africa and the United Kingdom to establish City Year affiliates in their countries. Those experiences have shown me that this idea that young people can change the world through a year of full-time national service is not uniquely American. The values that are the essence of City Year are universal. Young people across the world are resources just waiting to be tapped. They want to be part of creating a better future for their communities, their countries and the world.

Tell us about the ongoing role that President Clinton has played in expanding national service: President Clinton was the driving force behind AmeriCorps, and that has been the engine behind City Year’s expansion across the country. But many people don’t know that he is also the reason there is a City Year affiliate in South Africa and he has stayed involved over the years, often visiting on his regular trips to Johannesburg. Secretary Clinton and Chelsea have also been powerful advocates for national service and City Year. Secretary Clinton was a vocal champion for national service in the Senate and was the founding Co-Chair of City Year New York, and Chelsea has joined City Year New York for service days and their annual gala. In addition, Chelsea has made service a key focus for her work with the Clinton Foundation and founded the Day of Action program to help inspire communities across the country to expand service opportunities.

NATIONAL SERVICE PARTNERS

Established in 1993 by President Clinton, the Corporation for National and Community Service (CNCS) is a federal agency that engages more than 5 million Americans in service through its core programs – Senior Corps, AmeriCorps, and the Social Innovation Fund – and leads President Obama’s national call to service initiative, United We Serve. As the nation’s largest grantmaker for service and volunteering, CNCS plays a critical role in strengthening America’s nonprofit sector and addressing our nation’s challenges through service. CNCS harnesses America’s most powerful resource – the energy and talents of our citizens – to solve problems. CNCS believes that everyone can make a difference and that all of us should try. From grade school through retirement, CNCS empowers Americans and fosters a lifetime of service. For more information, visit www.cncs.gov

STATE SERVICE COMMISSION PARTNERS State Service Commissions are governor-appointed Commissions that work with the Corporation for National and Community Service (CNCS) to oversee the annual grant competition that awards funding to AmeriCorps programs such as City Year. These Commissions annually manage more than $250 million in federal national service grants, along with more than $100 million from local sources. Beyond grant stewardship, they determine social needs in their states, set policy and program priorities, provide training and assistance, support national days of service, and promote service and volunteering. Across the country, over 1,000 private citizens serve as commissioners, setting priorities for service and volunteerism, and acting as catalysts and ambassadors for service, creators of sustainable infrastructure for service and volunteerism, and developers of resources for the state. In 2013, City Year received AmeriCorps funding directly from: California Volunteers Serve DC: The Mayor’s Office on Service and Volunteerism Volunteer Florida Serve Illinois: Commission on Volunteerism and Community Service Volunteer Louisiana Louisiana Serve Commission Massachusetts Service Alliance Michigan Community Service Commission Nevada Volunteers: The Governor’s Commission on Service Volunteer NH New Yorkers Volunteer: New York Commission for National & Community Service Serve Ohio: Ohio Commission on Service and Volunteerism PennSERVE: The Governor’s Office of Citizen Service United Way Association of South Carolina OneStar Foundation

The City Year red jacket is worn by idealistic youth serving in their communities through City Year international affiliates in South Africa and the United Kingdom. city year south africa The roots of City Year’s international work stem from the deep commitment to citizen service as a means of strengthening democracy shared by former Presidents Nelson Mandela and Bill Clinton. In 2002, City Year was invited to join a U.S. delegation attending the Civil Society Conference in South Africa at the request of President Clinton and Mandela, to speak to the powerful role young people in full-time service could play in helping to address pressing social problems. This conference ultimately led to the launch of the Clinton Democracy Fellows program, which brought rising young civic leaders from South Africa to Boston to learn from and build connections with national service leaders and social entrepreneurs in the United States, and then the founding of City Year South Africa in 2005. Since then, City Year South Africa has graduated more than 1,400 young service leaders and provided nearly a million hours of service to the children and families of Johannesburg. This year, more than 130 young South Africans proudly served in ten schools in Johannesburg and Soweto, providing afterschool programming and classroom support to primary and secondary students. For the second year in a row, President Bill Clinton returned to visit City Year South Africa with his daughter, Chelsea, as part of his annual trip to Africa with the Clinton Foundation. They joined a service day with City Year South Africa, where they helped repaint playground equipment, plant a new vegetable garden, and work with children in the after-school program at the Together Action Group. President Clinton and Chelsea’s visit was highlighted on the Clinton Foundation blog, and was the cover photo of the Clinton Foundation 2012 Annual Report.

city year uk In 2010, City Year UK became our second international affiliate. City Year UK has quickly become a leader in education and national service. In 2013, 113 City Year UK corps members served in 12 schools across London, reaching more than 6,000 students regularly. Corps members also provided extra intensive help to more than 600 focus list pupils to improve behavior, literacy and numeracy. A teacher in one of City Year UK’s primary schools reports on the impact of the corps: “Just thinking about the table my corps member sits at with her target children, I know they’re a lot more focused because she is there. And students are producing a higher level of work, which I’m sure is almost a direct result of working with their corps member. It’s a massive improvement.” While continuing its growth in London, City Year UK was met with such widespread support and demand across the country that, in addition to its London site, City Year UK launched City Year Birmingham in September 2013 with 56 corps members serving in five teams, reaching a total of 4,372 students.

Einhorn FAMILY Charitable Trust Investors in the Expansion of City Year’s Whole School Whole Child Initiative

Since 2007, City Year has been honored to partner with the Einhorn Family Charitable Trust. In 2013, the Trust made a significant investment in City Year’s Long Term Impact strategy. Their multi-year gift, given at the highest level in City Year’s history, is catalyzing the organization’s ability to deepen its impact in more schools in more cities across the country. We spoke to Jennifer Hoos Rothberg, the Trust’s Executive Director about this recent investment. The Mission of the Einhorn Family Charitable Trust is to help people get along better. What does that mean and how is it reflected in the work of the Trust? The Trust’s vision is to build a more harmonious and civil society – a society in which the norm is for people to get along. Research shows that the best ways to help people get along better is by nurturing the development of necessary skills and behaviors such as empathy, kindness, cooperation, and respect, from the earliest stages of life through adulthood, for people to have the proclivity to proactively choose to engage positively and productively with those around them. To do this well, we need to provide the opportunities to regularly practice and develop these skills, and also ensure that the environments, such as one’s home and school, and primary relationships, such as with parents, teachers, and peers, are consistently positive and nurturing.

How is that mission and those priorities put into action through the grantmaking of the Trust? The Trust’s grantmaking philosophy emphasizes research-based programs that are developmentally appropriate and that integrate all three facets: relationships, environment, and experiences. In an educational context, we are looking for organizations that provide students with the opportunities to practice and develop these skills on a regular basis, integrated into the core curriculum and pedagogy, whereby everyone in the building becomes an active participant in establishing a caring community and positive school culture. When done well, students thrive in both learning and life. How does City Year fit into this philanthropic strategy? City Year is one of the best examples of incorporating these attributes – developing strong relationships, providing formative experiences, and creating a nurturing environment – and making sure they are mutually supportive of one another. City Year AmeriCorps members build supportive and trusting relationships with students, especially those who need it most. You can’t go into a City Year school and not feel that the environment has been transformed by the corps members’ presence. The environment is safe and nurturing, but also energetic, exciting, warm, and welcoming. Corps members not only model these positive behaviors, but actively provide students with experiences and opportunities to practice and develop their social and emotional skills on a daily basis, helping young people become their best selves.

City Year believes strongly in the power of young people to make a difference. How do you think young people can help solve some of our most intractable problems? Young people are the special sauce of City Year. Corps members bring an incredible sense of idealism with them into the classroom. We need this insurgence of energy and positivity, warmth and creativity in our schools – and no one is better at delivering that than idealistic millennials. The genuine, trusting relationships that corps members build with students and the tireless positivity that they bring into the school building: that’s the transformative power of City Year. Corps members are transforming these schools and we are confident City Year’s “human capital solution” will transform education. This is a perfect example of the power of young people making difference in the world.

opportunity to help City Year reach its transformative goals. The Trustees feel privileged to be able to provide resources that will help City Year achieve its innovative and ambitious plan to become a powerful, sustainable force for change in education. It is an ideal investment for the Trust.

Why does the Trust believe now is a good time to expand its investment in City Year? The Trust seeks to partner with organizations that are positioned for that next stage of growth and provide the resources to help them get there. We are proud to have partnered with City Year over the past several years of their journey. The organization has identified a rigorous growth plan, laying out what the next level of impact will look like, and with resources, are poised to get there. We recognized this as an unprecedented

Michael and Kim Ward The michael and kim ward foundation Michael J. Ward President, Chairman and CEO, CSX Corporation Trustee and Development Committee Chair, City Year Board of Trustees Board Member, City Year Jacksonville Kim Ward Chair, City Year Jacksonville Board Michael and Kim Ward are no strangers to hard work. A strong work ethic was common to their upbringings — Michael’s in Baltimore and Kim’s outside of Hershey, Pennsylvania. It was seeing that same commitment in City Year AmeriCorps members, along with the resulting impact, that inspired the Wards’ tremendous commitment to the organization. More recently, it was their own no-nonsense approach to a challenge that enabled them to found, fund and launch City Year Jacksonville in record time.

“My father told me, ‘You have to get a quality college education. But you’re going to have to pay for it, because I can’t,’” Michael remembers. He didn’t take the advice lightly. Michael worked summers at an asphalt company to cover his undergraduate tuition at the University of Maryland. Then, when Michael decided to apply to business school, Michael’s father said to him: “Try Harvard. See what happens.” And he handed Michael $25 dollars to cover the application fee. Harvard’s acceptance letter followed soon after, and Michael entered the program that fall. Work hard. Aim high. Get that degree. Decades later, Michael recognized these values among an enthusiastic crew of City Year AmeriCorps members when a CSX colleague brought him to a City Year event. “The absolute best gift you can possibly give someone is an education,” he says. “If you give someone an education, you not only enable them to change their life, you enable them to make a positive difference in the lives of people around them.” Michael helped nurture a partnership between City Year and the CSX Corporation, where he is now President, Chairman and CEO, which has grown over nearly two decades. CSX became a National Leadership Sponsor in 2003 and today sponsors 15 teams of City Year AmeriCorps members serving in high-need schools in every community where CSX operates. Three years ago, Michael introduced Kim to the organization at City Year’s National Leadership Summit in Washington, DC. Kim saw City Year in action, studied the numbers and understood the significant return

And she committed herself and the couple’s foundation to making it happen. The Michael and Kim Ward Foundation supports educational opportunities for wounded veterans, aims to eradicate relationship violence through technology and education, and helps increase the graduation pipeline in urban schools through City Year. When it came to Kim’s promise to launch City Year Jacksonville, the result was unprecedented because of the Wards’ deep personal commitment. A process that normally takes two-and-half years was completed in less than six months.

founders of City Year Jacksonville. They invited the “founding team” in Jacksonville to their home at the end of the 2012-2013 school year and gave each of them a personalized yearbook. Michael offers corps members the same advice he gives to other young people. “I have found over the years that people who focus on the success of the organization versus their own personal success have a lot more personal success,” he says. “Surround yourself with great people, give them room to run and give them credit when they succeed.” As for the Wards’ future with City Year, they’re in it for the long haul. “It’s more than writing a check, establishing a group and then watching someone else do the hard work,” Kim says, speaking with admiration of the corps members she has come to know personally. “I can’t go in and create the outcome, but I can be their biggest supporter, their biggest cheerleader.”

The Wards’ enthusiasm for taking on a tough task is shared by employees at CSX who are known to show up for a City Year service day two hours early and stay well past the designated end time, whether they’re planting trees or refurbishing a school playground. That work ethic is the precise quality the Wards recognize, support and celebrate in the City Year AmeriCorps members they’ve come to know as

Q+A

Ben Walton AND Mike Johnston Co-Chairs, City Year Denver Board

Ben Walton Trustee, Walton Family Foundation Co-chair, City Year Denver Colorado State Senator Mike Johnston Senate District 33 Co-chair, City Year Denver Architect-philanthropist Ben Walton and Colorado State Senator Mike Johnston are galvanized by numbers — specifically, pinpointing where policy and investment yield real results. The City Year Denver co-chairs are national thought-leaders on education reform. Can you both talk a little bit about the challenges facing the Denver community and public schools? MJ: There’s a tremendous opportunity in Denver, which is one of the state’s fastest-growing and fastest-improving school districts. We’ve seen a real commitment to reform at the district level and an expansion of partnerships, with organizations like City Year that are leading the way. There’s real optimism that Denver could become the city that leads the country on reform and results for all kids. The challenge? We still face difficult problems and achievement gaps at the K-12 level and in college attainment. We’re struggling with the highest gaps in the country on college attainment for kids of color, and

we’re still seeing only 40-to-50-percent proficiency rates in subject areas at grade level. We have true clarity about where we need to improve. And we know it’s possible, with City Year demonstrating success in some of the toughest schools in the city. How did you first hear about City Year? What made you think that corps members might be one of the solutions that Denver schools could invest in? BW: City Year reached out knowing that my family’s foundation [the Walton Family Foundation] is very focused on early childhood education. The numbers City Year shared demonstrated an amazing impact across the board: academic success, increases in attendance and violence prevention. It was clear that the corps members had become part of the fabric of these schools. Although City Year’s mission is outside the focus of our foundation work, we connected the City Year team with people in three districts where our foundation was heavily involved — Milwaukee, Louisiana and Arkansas — and I was very excited by the idea of bringing City Year to Denver. In 2008, City Year presented at our mayor’s conference, and [then] Mayor John Hickenlooper expressed interest. Then I spearheaded the effort to launch City Year here in Denver.

Senator Johnston, what got you interested in education reform? Why did you decide to make it your defining issue? MJ: I’d been a student of the civil rights movement and felt like I’d missed the chance to be a part of this powerful movement in American history. And then the more you read, the more you research, the more you spend time in the community, you realize that while all of those former barriers to equality may have been lifted, what remains in our education system is a profound inequality and lack of access to opportunity. ben walton

Sixty years after Brown vs. Board of Education, I can predict with startling accuracy any kid’s likelihood of graduating college if I know three variables: income, zip code and race. The fact that those are still predictive in 2013 means there’s something deeply broken. I came to believe, like many folks, that K-12 education is the civil rights issue of our generation. What results are you seeing in Denver’s schools as a result of City Year’s engagement? BW: We’re in our third year in the schools here. Principals understand how to realize their relationships with corps members and how to integrate them into the classrooms so City Year’s impact can be maximized.

senator mike johnston (craig f. walker, the denver post)

Ben, you’re known as being a smart philanthropist who does his due diligence and studies every investment. What do you look for in an organization when you are considering investing? BW: City Year has outstanding leadership. The organization is results-driven and accountable to those results. You’re able to adapt to what you’re seeing in the numbers, which is something that really excited me. You also have the anecdotal, day-to-day impact that’s part of each corps member’s experience through the training and culture. Those are qualities you don’t see often in not-for-profit philanthropy, but it goes right to the core of City Year. That really drew me in.

MJ: Particularly in northeast Denver, we’ve placed corps members in what are historically some of the lowest-performing schools in the district and the state. With City Year’s involvement over the last two years, they are now some of the fastest-improving schools. You see results in the data. You’ll also see those results in the stories of the kids when they talk about their relationship with City Year AmeriCorps members who helped them through the separation of their parents or the incarceration of their mom. It’s not just the data that tells the story. Jeff Park [City Year Denver’s Executive Director] is the reason City Year Denver is as successful as it is. He has worked as a teacher and as a principal, has led charter schools and district schools, and knows how to generate success and outcomes in a school every day. He’s a force of nature.

David and Marion Mussafer city year champions

David Mussafer Founding Chair, City Year Boston Investment Community Breakfast Managing Partner, Advent International Board Member, City Year Boston Board (2004-2012) Marion Mussafer Founding development team leader, City Year London Founding Chair, City Year Boston Seven Generations Board At the center of City Year’s culture is a collection of Founding Stories, observations and reflections that speak to the organization’s ideals and identity. It’s no surprise that Marion Mussafer, who, with her husband David, has been involved with City Year for two decades, often talks about the “ripples” that City Year creates, citing the “ripples” founding story, a quote by Robert F. Kennedy from 1966: “Each time a person stands up for an ideal or acts to improve the lot of others, or strikes out against injustice, he sends forth a tiny ripple of hope.” For Marion and David, there are many ripples when it comes to their family’s long-term connection with City Year.

David Mussafer first learned about City Year while pursuing a MBA at the University of Pennsylvania. There, he came across a profile of the organization in an issue of Inc. magazine. After moving to Boston in 1990, David and Marion were looking for volunteer opportunities, when a friend invited David to a City Year service event. David and Marion quickly recognized that City Year had impressive leadership and great potential for success. The organization also met the couple’s criterion of having a community or education-based focus, so it felt like a good fit. “City Year is an experiential organization,” Marion says. “You don’t just contribute as an outsider. You become actively involved on a much deeper level.”

from left: marion mussafer, dorothy magill (marion’s mother), david mussafer

The Mussafers have since taken on leadership roles with City Year and provided significant philanthropic support. Their commitment extends in many directions and across multiple continents. Marion has led trips to South Africa and was part of the founding of City Year London. She is also the inaugural chair of City Year Boston’s Seven Generations Board, a new entity that gives active supporters another way to engage with our work. A founding member of City Year Boston’s Investment Committee, David recently shared his insights as an investor at the National Executive Leadership Conference, a bi-annual event for City Year’s senior leadership team and executive directors from across the country.

Both he and Marion admire the organization’s understanding of how complicated the challenges are in the urban schools where corps members serve. “The organization bridges the issues in the most elegant way,” David says. “It’s not the only solution, but it’s part of the tapestry — the idea of really high-impact young professionals going into the most challenged schools and working with kids is attacking the toughest, deepest part of the problem. The model works, and you’ve got a scorecard to measure it.” Marion and David aren’t the only family members who dive into the work. Their four children, two in college and two in high school, have come to see City Year as an

“It’s exciting to think about the potential impact that City Year can have on the dropout crisis in America,” David says. “It’s not just the right thing to do. When you are having that kind of impact on children, creating opportunity, you are strengthening the country. It’s really moving the needle in a big way.” David talked about seeing City Year’s successes and challenges through his own lens as an investor. “Both of us have to go out and raise money to stay in business,” he laughs. “But the subtlety of that is that you have to continuously demonstrate why you are the best alternative for people’s money. More broadly, with City Year’s model comes the challenge of how to centralize best practices and share them broadly across the organization – that’s something I think City Year does very well.” The couple has stood with City Year for all these years for many reasons. They laud the friendships they’ve built and their admiration for the people involved. But they also speak of City Year’s changing focus as an important development. “When City Year refined the mission around education, that was spot-on,” David says. “The leadership asked, what are the things that we do well? And the answer was that they inspire, lead and create role models.”

integral part of family life. The children have joined in on everything from serve-a-thons to international trips. “We grew up with City Year,” Marion says. “It’s part of our family culture now. Our kids have learned that you have to do more than just make your own way in the world; you have to find something you care about and make a difference.” “It’s exciting to think about the potential impact that City Year can have on the dropout crisis in America,” David says. “It’s not just the right thing to do. When you are having that kind of impact on children, creating opportunity, you are strengthening the country. It’s really moving the needle in a big way.”

PROFILE

MICROSOFT City Year National Leadership Sponsor

“Today’s generation of young people are active in understanding the challenges ahead of them and are using their voice to advocate for change,” says Lori Forte Harnick, Microsoft’s General Manager of Citizenship and Public Affairs. “We’re inspired by today’s youth and believe we have a responsibility not only to create thriving economies that they can be a part of, but listen, inspire and encourage them to harness their own passion, innovation and aspirations for their futures. It’s a belief that animates our fourteenyear commitment to City Year.”

Year AmeriCorps members serving at a high school in Queens, New York. With the launch of YouthSpark, Microsoft’s investment has grown and the company became one of City Year’s National Leadership Sponsors in 2012. To date, the company has donated more than $23.4 million through financial and in-kind support.

Microsoft invests in two areas of City Year’s work. First, it supports City Year teams serving in four schools in New York City, Washington, DC, Chicago and Seattle. Every team Microsoft sponsors is part of Diplomas Now, a collaboration between City Year, Johns Hopkins YouthSpark, Microsoft’s Talent Development and signature corporate Communities In Schools, citizenship program that is helping to turn around launched in September some of the nation’s most 2012.

One result? She joined City Year Seattle’s board (Justin Spelhaug, Microsoft’s General Manager of the Operations Service Group is also a member of the board). She says

City Year share: both believe in the power of young people. “Our future success as a society, across the U.S. and throughout the world, will largely depend on the knowledge and capacity of today’s youth to drive innovation and address increasingly complex global challenges,” Forte Harnick says. “An investment in youth reflects our belief in the potential and promise of the world’s 1.4 billion young people.”

Bank of America has served as Presenting Sponsor of City Year’s annual convention and its 15th anniversary, and played a pivotal role in the purchase and development of City Year’s national headquarters by supporting tax-exempt bond financing and bridge financing for the project.

Cisco first partnered with City Year in 1993, and has been an instrumental supporter of City Year’s Whole School, Whole Child model for school-based service and after-school programs.

Microsoft will help City Year reach an unprecedented number of youth in highpoverty schools nationwide, ensuring the right students receive the right interventions at the right time.

PepsiCo Foundation

PepsiCo and City Year share a deep commitment to education, diversity and inclusion. The collaboration began in 2001 with community service projects that engaged PepsiCo employees in transforming communities across the country, and continued with spreading the City Year message on millions of Pepsi cans around the country. In 2008, the PepsiCo Foundation provided the initial seed funding to support Diplomas Now, and has been the driving force behind the growth and impact of its collaborative school turnaround model in the years since. PepsiCo played a critical role in Diplomas Now being awarded a prestigious federal Department of Education (DOE) Investing in Innovation (i3) grant in 2010, and has helped catalyze the program into a national network of 40 schools in 14 cities, reaching more than 31,000 students each year. Today, PepsiCo’s involvement comes back full circle to the community level, with employees mentoring Diplomas Now students to a brighter future.

cit y yea r.org City Year is an education-focused, nonprofit organization founded in 1988 that partners with public schools to help keep students in school and on track to graduate.
