25 years ago,
City Year was founded on a belief that young people can change the world.
That belief has been affirmed every day since – by the remarkable young people, 20,000 strong, who have stepped forward to serve their community with City Year.
Today, 3,000 City Year corps members are serving in high-need schools in 26 U.S. cities, the United Kingdom, and South Africa. They are changing the world every day by helping keep students in school and on track to succeed.
We are proud of what our corps has accomplished over the past quarter century, thanks to the dedicated support of generous, committed individuals and public and private partners. But there is still so much more to be done. We believe that the best is yet to come.​
A MESSAGE OF GRATITUDE
Dear City Year Community, In the pages of this annual report, you will find highlights of our milestone 25th anniversary year – our silver anniversary celebration and our year of service in high-need schools. This report also profiles inspirational City Year partners and champions and recognizes the many individuals and organizations that generously supported our work in 2013-2014. You will also find our commitment to our Long Term Impact goals to help students and schools succeed. Most of all, you will find gratitude. We are so deeply grateful to the many remarkable partners and champions – from across all sectors – who have supported the City Year corps and their work since our founding: to the schools, school districts and community organizations who have partnered with us; to the corporations, foundations and individuals who have donated their time, expertise and resources to City Year; to AmeriCorps and the Corporation for National and Community
Service who have grown us across the country; and to our corps, alumni, staff and board members who have served with such passion and commitment. We are also grateful to our colleagues in the service movement and the education sector. The civic power of young people is a deep source of inspiration to us all at City Year. For a quarter century, City Year corps members have been making a difference through their service. More than 20,000 have served, and they each have a story. Their stories are stories of idealism and impact, and of how national service can help transform lives, schools and communities. We dedicate this annual report to the remarkable young people who have worn the City Year uniform with spirit, discipline, purpose and pride. Thank you for taking the time to read this report, and thank you for being part of the City Year family.
Yours in Service,

Every time City Year shows up anywhere, it is the living embodiment of the effort we're making to define the terms of interdependence – so that our children and our grandchildren will live in the world of most peaceful times...even though my heart was singing 23 years ago when I ambled into City Year,
I believe that it's more important today.

25TH ANNIVERSARY SPONSOR PROFILE
BAIN CAPITAL
Since Bain Capital began supporting City Year in the early 1990s, nearly 300 of the firm’s employees have given their expertise as advisers and board members, made generous philanthropic contributions, and participated in City Year service days. “Bain Capital and the people of Bain Capital have been essential to City Year’s development, growth and success for more than two decades,” said Michael Brown, CEO and co-founder of City Year. “Bain Capital and City Year share the belief that supporting the education and development of young people is the single most important investment we can make in our future. The partnership works because our organizations also share the same values: teamwork, excellence and commitment to community, believing that social action and volunteerism are effective ways of bringing people together, of giving back – and getting results.” Bain Capital and Bain Capital employees have together contributed more than $25 million to City Year’s work. “City Year is a double-bottom line investment,” says Jonathan Lavine, Chair, City Year’s Board of Trustees and Managing Partner and Chief Investment Officer, Sankaty Advisors, the credit affiliate of Bain Capital. “It helps students in high poverty public schools succeed, and at the same time develops corps members into civic-minded leaders of tomorrow.” On City Year’s 10th anniversary, Bain Capital endowed a City Year team with a gift of $1 million. Since then, 150 City Year corps members have served on the Bain Capital team, contributing more than 250,000 hours of service to Boston’s 10
public schools and community. Bain Capital was also instrumental to the launch of City Year in Louisiana, in response to Hurricane Katrina, and the firm sponsored two additional City Year teams in New York City, as part of its Hurricane Sandy relief effort. In September 2013, as the firm launched the Bain Capital Community Partnership – an initiative that brings all of Bain Capital’s charitable activities under one umbrella – it announced a $3 million gift to City Year and served as City Year’s National 25th Anniversary Sponsor, supporting school-based service and events in cities across the country and globe. In May 2014, Bain Capital was the presenting sponsor of City Year’s 25th Anniversary Gala, which featured President Bill Clinton and the Boston Pops orchestra at Boston’s Symphony Hall. Bain Capital’s sponsorship also included a $1 million contribution to City Year’s Silver Anniversary Fund, which supports City Year’s Long Term Impact strategy to dramatically increase the number of students who graduate from high school on track and on time.
bain capital, in their own words:
We feel lucky to be affiliated with City Year. It has great objectives and it’s done an extraordinary job of making things happen. I really applaud the way it’s always held itself accountable for driving results. Good objectives, but great results, which I think is the right standard. – Paul Edgerley, Managing Director, Bain Capital
Being able to reach students in a meaningful way is so important. And I think City Year, at scale, has the ability to change the graduation status quo in this country. – Sally Fassler, Managing Director, Bain Capital and Chief Financial Officer, Bain Capital and Sankaty Advisors
City Year is tackling one of the most important and difficult problems that our society faces in an extremely focused and results-oriented way. The organization looks at the problem and has found a way, over twenty-five years, to focus its efforts on how to address root causes. It’s combining the impossibility of mission, with the possibility and hope and proven results. – Sean Doherty, Managing Director and General Counsel, Bain Capital

th anniversary CAMPAIGN
In honor of City Year’s silver anniversary and in support of our Long-Term Impact goals, City Year launched its 25th Anniversary In School and On Track Campaign, a $150 million national philanthropic initiative spanning FY’12 – FY’15. Philanthropic resources from this campaign are supporting the building of national capacities for deepening the organization’s impact, scaling local City Year programs nationwide to reach additional high poverty schools, expanding to new cities and building City Year’s endowment. City Year continues to raise support to meet the ambitious goals of the Campaign by June 30, 2015, and proudly recognizes our generous campaign donors to date in this 25th Anniversary Annual Report. In addition, City Year appreciates the alumni community’s generous support and investment in the impact corps members make every day in classrooms and communities through the 25th Anniversary Alumni Campaign, a special initiative of the In School and On Track Campaign.

WHAT WE DO
Taylor Trejo @ttrejo_CYCO “Ms. Taylor, you’re so easy to talk to. I don’t feel like I can tell other people this stuff.....” #trust #makebetterhappen
WHAT WE DO At City Year we believe that every child has the potential to succeed and that a high-quality education can help ensure each child meets that potential. But we also know that students in high-poverty communities face obstacles that interfere with their ability to arrive at school every day ready to learn and to succeed in school. Many students need extra support to overcome these challenges, and schools were not designed to meet this scale of need. In other words, there is a gap between what students need and what schools are organized and resourced to provide. City Year helps to bridge that gap by providing individualized supports to students and schools that need them most. Diverse teams of City Year AmeriCorps members serve full-time to help keep students in school and on track to graduate, ready for college and career. City Year works in partnership with school staff to regularly monitor student performance on the three early-warning indicators – attendance, behavior and course performance, the ABCs – which research shows can identify students at risk of dropping out as early as sixth grade. Guided by these data, City Year and our school partners can identify which students are most at risk, and our corps members are able to customize the types and intensity of support they provide students. Throughout the entire school day, corps members directly support academic achievement and 16

student engagement in and outside of the classroom – tutoring students one-on-one, serving as an additional resource for teachers, and leading after school programs and school wide initiatives to improve student achievement and build a positive school culture. Corps members are “near-peers” – older than the students, but younger than teachers – making it possible for them to build meaningful relationships with students, which enable them to support students academically and in the development of critical social and emotional skills including goal-setting, persistence and teamwork. City Year not only helps students but also develops corps members as engaged citizens who are equipped with the skills, passion, and courage to continue making a difference in their communities long after their year of service. As our nation’s next generation of young leaders, corps members, through the development of their skills and “can do” mindset, help build a more competitive workforce and a stronger democracy.

CITY YEAR AMERICORPS MEMBER PROFILE
JAY SAVOY CITY YEAR AMERICORPS MEMBER, CITY YEAR WASHINGTON, DC
Looking out the second-story window of a classroom at Kimball Elementary School, Jay Savoy points to the west, across Minnesota Avenue. “I grew up just three blocks that way,” she says, “in a row house with my parents, younger sister and older brother.” She speaks proudly of the neighborhood she used to call home. “The people here are so humble, and you can always expect a ‘hello’ when you pass someone on the street,” she says. Although she now lives in a different part of Washington D.C., Jay returns to this neighborhood every morning to serve as a City Year AmeriCorps member at Kimball Elementary, working with students who would have been her neighbors. “Part of my motivation for serving with City Year is that these students are in the same place I was when I was a kid,” she says. “It’s important to me to show them that I’m black, I’m female, I’m from the same place you are, and I went to college, 22
got my degree and I’m serving my community – there’s no excuse not to aspire to be doing what I’m doing.” Kimball is located in Ward 7 in South East D.C., a neighborhood that has long been characterized by high poverty, high unemployment and lowperforming schools: 40 percent of children live in poverty and only a quarter of students in the Ward are proficient in literacy. Jay grew up around many of the things her students see every day – blocks crippled by violence, drugs and a lack of opportunity, and too few positive adult role models. Jay helps her students take responsibility for their behavior and their schoolwork. One of her students, a fourth grader named George, struggled to control his emotions and occasionally lashed out when he got angry. “The first time I met him he told me he wanted to be President of the United States; the next day he got into
Part of my motivation for serving with City Year is that these students are in the same place I was. It’s important to me to show them that I’m black, I’m female, I’m from the same place you are, and I went to college, got my degree and I’m serving my community. a fight,” she explains. Jay worked closely with George, helping him learn to be accountable for his actions. She introduced him to a short poem called “Excuses”: Excuses are words of the incompetent used to build monuments of nothing; those who dwell on them seldom succeed. Jay asked George to write that poem in his journal whenever he started to lose control, as a reminder that he was responsible for his behavior. “He’s gone from a kid who would act out, to one who owns up to his mistakes and makes it right by apologizing when he’s wrong,” she says. That emphasis on self-regulation has translated to better results in the classroom: George boosted his literacy scores over the school year. What Jay really wants her students to understand, though, is that they can take responsibility for their futures and advocate for themselves. As a kid, she loved to dance, and sought out opportunities whenever and wherever she could to practice her craft. That passion – and the commitment to holding herself accountable to the potential she saw in herself – was empowering.
It’s a lesson Jay learned as an eighth grader from a City Year AmeriCorps member serving in her school. At the time, she was nervous about auditioning for the Duke Ellington School for the Arts, the only public high school in D.C. that offers arts training and college preparatory academics. The corps member gave her advice she’s never forgotten: “She told me, ‘You never know if you’ll make it if you never try. And who’s to say you can’t try again if you don’t make it the first time.’” That kind of support and encouragement is what Jay now strives to offer her students. Jay did audition for Duke Ellington High – she wasn’t admitted. But that setback didn’t stop her from moving forward. She graduated from a different high school and won a Posse scholarship to attend the University of Wisconsin, where she studied community and nonprofit leadership, graduating in 2013. “That corps member told me to believe in myself, to go for it,” Jay says. It’s made all the difference.

STUDENT PROFILE
MIGUEL 8TH GRADER, ORCHARD GARDENS SCHOOL
Miguel thinks he might want to be a pilot one day, or maybe he’ll be a professional soccer player – it depends which day you ask him. Fortunately, Miguel has some time to figure things out: he’s only 12. He is equal turns gregarious and taciturn, about what you might anticipate from a kid in the early throes of adolescence. But it was Miguel who gave voice to the thousands of students City Year serves at the organization’s 25th anniversary celebration in Boston’s Symphony Hall. Last May, Miguel stood before the crowd of 3,000 – an audience that included, President Bill Clinton, Supreme Court Justice Stephen Breyer, actor Hill Harper, singer Judith Hill, among other luminaries – and shared his story. From the gleaming podium of steel and glass,

in his dark-grey slacks, purple oxford shirt and matching purple tie and handkerchief, Miguel exclaimed: “Good Evening Ladies and Gentlemen! A long time ago, way before I was born, City Year started right here in Boston with just 50 young people. They were 50 young people who wanted to change the world – and I think they kinda did it!” Miguel attends the Orchard Gardens school, located in the Roxbury neighborhood of Boston. Five years ago, Orchard Gardens wasn’t just one of the lowest-performing schools in the district – it was one of the five lowest-performing schools in the Commonwealth of Massachusetts. But today, thanks to outstanding leadership,
A long time ago, way before I was born, City Year started right here in Boston with just 50 young people. They were 50 young people who wanted to change the world – and I think they kinda did it! great teachers, and additional resources and strategic partnerships, including a dedicated City Year team, the school is a success story. While Orchard Garden’s proficiency scores on state assessments are still below average, it’s now in the top two percent of Boston public schools when considering the rate of student improvement. As a student, Miguel has been part of the school’s remarkable turnaround. “My school is now one of the best in the whole state,” he said to the crowd assembled in Symphony Hall. At the beginning of the school year last year, Miguel struggled with his reading and writing. English is not his first language, so he needed extra help to catch up and keep up. He worked with City Year Boston AmeriCorps member Kaitlyn Murray. Miss Murray, as Miguel calls her, worked with Miguel several times a week. Together they read texts aloud, worked to improve Miguel’s reading comprehension and build his vocabulary. “My reading level was low and she helped to make it higher,” he said. By the end of the year, he’d read Esperanza Rising, Facing the Lion, and Of Mice and Men, at the same pace as the rest of his classmates.
crowd, possessed the charisma and confidence to command attention, and was happy to share his experience working with City Year. This school year, Miguel likes to say he’s too good for City Year. And he is. Even though Miguel still interacts with City Year every day – in class, or at lunch, or after school – he’s improved enough that he’s no longer on one of City Year’s focus lists. (A focus lists is a roster of students who are identified by data as at risk in English, math, attendance or behavior – every City Year AmeriCorps member works with 10-15 focus-list students.)
When the City Year Boston team asked Orchard Gardens teachers and staff to nominate a student to speak at City Year’s 25th anniversary celebration, Miguel was everyone’s first pick. He’d be comfortable speaking in front of a large 25
RESULTS
DIPLOMAS NOW
Diplomas Now is an innovative secondary school turnaround collaboration between Johns Hopkins University’s Talent Development Secondary, City Year and Communities In Schools, leveraging over 65 years of combined experience working in and with lowperforming, under-resourced schools. The Diplomas Now model was developed in response to research findings identifying the early warning indicators of eventual high school dropouts and is the first fully integrated approach that improves a school's curriculum and instruction while it provides the right students with the right supports at the right time. 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. The Diplomas Now model consists of an early warning system that alerts teachers as soon as students begin to demonstrate off-track behavior, an additional team of adults to provide targeted and intensive supports, and a whole school reform strategy that includes instructional programs that are linked to college readiness standards, extensive professional development for administrators and teachers, and comprehensive programs for family and community involvement, among others.
26
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 welcome students to school (and call students when they don’t show up), provide tutoring in math and English, engage students in behavior coaching and lead extended day 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.
During the 2013-2014 school year, the Diplomas Now model was implemented in 29 schools as part of the U.S. Department of Education’s Investing in Innovation (i3) program. The following promising results were seen for students that were identified as off-track at any point during the year:
41% decrease in the number of students with less than 85% attendance
62% decrease in the number of suspended students
58%
decrease in the number of students failing English
53%
decrease in the number of students failing math
Additionally, through strong prevention work DN was able to provide more than 90% of all students that began the year with no early warning indicators the supports that they needed to stay on track for the remainder of the year.
During the 2013-2014 school year, Diplomas Now was implemented in 41 schools in 14 cities: Baton Rouge Boston Chicago Columbus Detroit Jacksonville Los Angeles Miami New York City Philadelphia Seattle San Antonio Tulsa Washington, DC
i3
Grant Investing in Innovation (i3) Grant In August 2010, the U.S. Department of Education awarded Diplomas Now a prestigious $30 million Investing in Innovation (i3) grant to validate the model’s early promising results. Diplomas Now, the only national secondary school transformation model to receive an i3 grant, is partnering with MDRC, a leading research organization, to study the impact of the model on school attendance, behavior, course performance, and graduation rates in some of the nation’s highest-need schools. This study is the largest randomized control trial of secondary school reform in the country and will evaluate the effectiveness of Diplomas Now compared to other reforms. 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, and other philanthropic individuals and institutions have also provided generous support for the study.

The first thing Principal Mia Williams says about Aki Kurose (Cur-o-see) Middle School is that it’s full of “brilliant and very diverse students.” Indeed, the school is located in a southeast Seattle neighborhood that was determined by Census data to be one of the most diverse zip codes in the United States. There are 26 documented languages spoken at the school and of its 750 sixth, seventh and eighth graders, 40% are southeast Asian, 40% are of African descent (including African-Americans and recent immigrants from Africa), 15% are Hispanic and three percent are white. Williams lives about a mile from the school, on the same street as 30 of her students. She loves her neighborhood: “there are so many different kinds of restaurants, and cultures, and religions – it’s just wonderful.” Williams is originally from Houston, Texas, but has no hint of a southern drawl. Though the school is one mile from the million dollar homes on the shores of Lake Washington, she notes that 84% of its students receive free and reduced lunch. When Williams became principal in 2008, Aki (as it’s called) was one of the lowest performing middle schools in the city. But Aki’s performance has been steadily improving thanks to tremendous efforts of the staff and students, Williams’s leadership (she was named co-principal of the year by the Alliance for Education and Seattle Public Schools in 2013) and, in part, to Diplomas Now, a school turnaround program that brings together three nonprofits – Johns Hopkins University, Communities In Schools and City Year. The key to Aki’s progress, according to Williams, has been a school culture that prizes all action

in service to students. For City Year, this means corps members and teachers collaborate daily, review lesson plans and analyze student data to ensure that corps members are aware of students’ individualized needs and equipped to meet them.
says with a laugh. “That personalized attention – that near-peer relationship – has made a huge difference. For some kids it might be the only attention they get where someone is being their cheerleader and helping them to problem solve.”
“We are of one mind, and very intentional about our partnership,” Williams says. “Using data to personalize interventions for students is among the most powerful work we’ve been able to do together.”
Williams believes the relationship corps members build with students is one of the most powerful things about Aki’s partnership with City Year. Kids share with corps members details about their lives that they might not be comfortable, or have the opportunity, to share with other adults in the building. “Students know that the corps members are going to care about them, and push them to be better, and celebrate their goals,” Williams says.
Aki’s students have made great progress in academics and behavior, but one of the biggest areas of improvement has been an increase in average daily attendance. Researchers at Johns Hopkins University found that a sixth grader who attends school less than 90% of the time (missing one day every 10, or 20 days – nearly a month – of instruction over the course of the year), has only a 20% chance of graduating from high school on time. As recently as 2010, the attendance rate at Aki was 89%. Today it’s between 94%-96% – and Williams and team have their sights set on 97%. That achievement was a collaborative effort – on the part of parents, students, teachers, City Year AmeriCorps members and other school partners. AmeriCorps members could be seen outside in the schoolyard before the first bell, cheering students on as they arrived and doling out high-fives. AmeriCorps members also partnered with school staff to create school-wide events, including rallies and contests and ice cream socials celebrating good attendance. “I started hearing kids telling other kids, ‘We gotta be on time so we can win the challenge for the week,” Williams says. Some strategies homed in on individual children. When kids were late, a corps member would walk them all the way to class, engaging the student along the way to find out why they were late in the first place. And when students didn’t show up, corps members called their homes. “At first I was getting emails from parents saying, ‘Who are these red coated people calling me?’” Williams
It’s a relationship that goes both ways. The school, which is named after peace activist, educator and World War II internment camp-survivor Akikio Kato Kurose, claims the Peace Crane as its mascot. (Williams likes to say that people who work at Aki are “Peace Cranes” for life.) Hanging outside her office door is a paper cutout of a yellow and green crane, with the words “We Appreciate You” written across the top; Williams says it lifts her spirits on tough days. The poster was created by members of the City Year team who served at Aki a couple of years ago – some of whom with she is still in touch, because they’ve wanted to stay connected to Aki’s community. “The biggest gift I can give kids is to put the best teachers in front of them every single day,” Williams says. “And the next best thing are more adults who are positive role models. The more adults that connect with kids, the more successful kids are, and that’s what the corps members bring to the table.”

A TRIBUTE TO NELSON MANDELA
City Year Honors
NELSON MANDELA 1918 - 2013
Education is the greatest weapon you can use to change the world.
36
In December 2013, City Year joined with our South African colleagues, and indeed the entire world, to mourn the loss and celebrate the life of Nelson Mandela. Mandela’s profound moral courage, unyielding commitment to a free and democratic South Africa, and remarkable personal grace changed his country and the world. Nelson Mandela had a profound impact on City Year. In 2001, when he invited President Clinton to South Africa to speak about building a civil society, President Clinton invited City Year’s leaders and several AmeriCorps members to join him. The visit inspired the founding of City Year South Africa, City Year’s first international affiliate, now in its ninth year. “We will always be inspired by President Mandela and continue to try to emulate his humility, commitment to social justice and unflagging dedication to a cause greater than self,” said City Year CoFounder and CEO Michael Brown.
37
INTERNATIONAL WORK
CITY YEAR SOUTH AFRICA The roots of City Year’s international work stem from the deep commitment former Presidents Nelson Mandela and Bill Clinton shared to citizen service as a means of strengthening democracy. In 2002, City Year was invited to join a U.S. delegation attending the Civil Society Conference in Cape Town, at the request of Presidents 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 the US 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 1,500 corps members and provided over a million hours of service to the children and communities of Johannesburg. This year, more than 100 young South Africans dedicated over 100,000 hours to providing afterschool programming and classroom support to students in nine primary schools throughout the Gauteng province.

City Year South Africa continues to have a significant impact on students and schools. Eighty percent of educators surveyed report being satisfied or very satisfied with the experience of having City Year in their schools, and many have requested the extension and expansion of City Year’s work with their students. In addition to its transformative work in education, City Year South Africa also plays a critical role in addressing one of South Africa’s most pressing problems, the youth unemployment crisis. Through a year of intensive training and service, City Year South Africa’s corps members spend more than 640 hours in training and leadership development, designed to expand their skill set and enhance their employability post-graduation. In 2013, City Year South Africa placed 78% of its corps members in education or employment. Contrastingly, the rate of unemployment for 15-24 year olds in South Africa is a staggering 50%. City Year South Africa is a pathway to education and employment for its corps members.

CITY YEAR UK City Year UK is just four years old but is quickly establishing itself as a leading national service and education organization across two cities, London and Birmingham, with an expansion to a third, Manchester, scheduled for 2015. Since its launch in 2010, over 400 corps members have graduated from City Year UK, serving more than 20,000 students in underperforming schools throughout London and Birmingham. Recent independent research of City Year UK’s first three years found compelling evidence that City Year helps with learning and achievement. In addition, involvement in City Year UK plays an important part in supporting corps members on their path to future employment: 95% said their experience prepared them for work and 83% said it was likely that their choice of career would involve service to others.
City Year UK also aims to be a beacon for a national volunteer service year in the UK and has citizen POWER: published Citizen Power: Unlocking young peoples’ potential through voluntary service, which explores experiences on both sides of the Atlantic and provides insight from thought leaders on the power of voluntary national service for youth. President Bill Clinton provided a foreword for the publication, which was featured in London’s Evening Standard newspaper. give a year. change the world.

AMERICORPS AND THE CORPORATION FOR NATIONAL AND COMMUNITY SERVICE
AmeriCorps is a federal program designed to meet pressing community needs in education, the environment, disaster relief and more, by engaging American citizens in intensive, results-driven service. Each year, AmeriCorps places more than 80,000 AmeriCorps members to serve with nonprofit organizations in more than 25,000 locations across the United States. Through participation in AmeriCorps, City Year’s full-time AmeriCorps members earn a living allowance of at least $12,100, as well as health care benefits. Thanks in part to this federal support, City Year AmeriCorps members can serve as full-time partners in some of our nation’s highest-need schools. City Year AmeriCorps members who complete a year of service receive a $5,645 Segal AmeriCorps Education Award that can be used to pay for tuition or to pay off qualified student loans. Every AmeriCorps member is eligible to receive $11,290 in scholarships, if they complete a second year of full-time service. AmeriCorps is operated by the Corporation for National and Community Service (CNCS), a federal agency established in 1993 by President Clinton that engages more than 5 million Americans in service through its core programs, including AmeriCorps. 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 our nation’s most pressing problems.
42
STATE SERVICE COMMISSION PARTNERS
State Service Commissions are governor-appointed Commissions that work with the Corporation for National and Community Service (CNCS) to support service in each state. Commissions partner with programs such as City Year to secure funding through an annual federal AmeriCorps grant competition. State Service Commissions annually manage more than $250 million in federal national service grants, along with more than $100 million in matching funds from local sources. Beyond grant stewardship, Commissions determine social needs in their states, provide training and assistance, support national days of service, and promote service and volunteering. Over 1,000 private citizens serve as commissioners who are responsible for setting state priorities and developing sustainable infrastructures for service. They act as resource catalysts and powerful advocates for service as a solution to pressing local needs. In 2014, City Year received AmeriCorps funding directly from 13 State Service Commissions: CaliforniaVolunteers Massachusetts Service Alliance Michigan Community Service Commission New Yorkers Volunteer: New York Commission for National & Community Service OneStar Foundation PennSERVE: The Governor’s Office of Citizen Service Serve DC: The Mayor’s Office on Service and Volunteerism Serve Illinois Commission Serve Ohio: Ohio Commission on Service and Volunteerism United Way Association of South Carolina Volunteer Florida Volunteer Louisiana Volunteer NH

SUPERINTENDENT PROFILE
DR. BARBARA JENKINS SUPERINTENDENT, ORANGE COUNTY PUBLIC SCHOOLS
Dr. Barbara Jenkins has been the superintendent of Orange County Public Schools, the country’s tenth largest school district, since 2012. OCPS won the Broad Prize for Urban Education in 2014 for what the Prize committee said was the district’s “urgency and commitment to improve student achievement quickly.” This year, 68 City Year Orlando AmeriCorps members are serving in seven OCPS schools. Q: What’s your vision for Orange County Public Schools? The OCPS vision is to be the top producer of successful students in the nation. With a diverse population of 192,000 students, our challenge is to lead each of them to success, as
46
it is our mission to do so with the support and involvement of families and the community. City Year provides critical support that helps teachers reach those students who can benefit the most from mentoring and assistance. Q: You often quote an African proverb, “Sticks in bundles don’t break.” What does that mean to you and how does it relate to your work with students? We know our students have tremendous potential, but we also know that they can be quite fragile, often due to circumstances beyond their control in their home environments. When students are alone, like individual sticks, they are fragile. It is our responsibility – the school district, City Year
Staff members and students would say that the City Year AmeriCorps members are a huge bonus to each campus and in the lives of our students. and the entire community – to bundle around our students, to provide them with protection and support to make sure they develop into healthy and productive citizens. When we provide that kind of support, we help students do more than succeed: we help them excel. Q: The district works with many organizations to support students and raise student achievement. What do you look for in a partner? We want partners with a proven track record and a commitment to the success of students. We expect improved academic performance for targeted students. We also value excellent role models. Developing resilience and tenacity among young people is critical to their success. Clearly, mentors can help inspire such traits in our students, because students’ needs far exceed the capacity of school staff. No single teaching staff can do it alone. Additional resources and proven programs, like City Year, are conscious investments in student success and an investment in our local economy.
Q: Why is City Year a smart investment for Orange County Public Schools? What has the presence of AmeriCorps members helped the district accomplish? Any time we talk about providing assistance for our students it is significant. City Year AmeriCorps members have supplemented the work of teachers and provided critical support for our students psychologically, socially, emotionally and academically. Staff members and students would say that the City Year AmeriCorps members are a huge bonus to each campus and in the lives of our students. “Near peer” tutors often serve as surrogate parents or family members for students whose families might not be able to support their education at a high level. Q: What do you think City Year AmeriCorps members, in their signature red jackets, mean to students in Orlando? Those red jackets are a beacon of support. The students see the City Year AmeriCorps members as “near peers” they can rely on and believe in. They see them at the school when they arrive and when they leave. The City Year AmeriCorps members are also at most of the students’ afterschool activities. They are cheerleaders promoting the success of all the students at their school. 47

JENNIFER EPLETT REILLY CO-FOUNDER AND TRUSTEE, CITY YEAR, INC. CO-CHAIR OF THE INTERNATIONAL COMMITTEE, CITY YEAR BOARD OF TRUSTEES CO-FOUNDER AND FOUNDING CHAIR, CITY YEAR LOUISIANA BOARD MEMBER, CITY YEAR BATON ROUGE
young people to give a year of full-time service addressing some of their community’s toughest challenges. It was an impassioned letter from Alan Khazei in 1987, beseeching her to quit her job in corporate finance, and return to Boston to help launch City Year, that sealed her decision. “Their passion for national service was magnetic,” Jennie says of Michael and Alan in those early days. “They really made me believe we could change the world. I said, ‘that’s bold, I’m in!’” It was a leap of faith, but she mailed in her final college loan payment, quit her job and headed north to Boston. By that fall, Jennie was helping to co-found City Year full-time: developing strategy, researching foundations and corporations, writing grant proposals, meeting with potential funders, building the board and recruiting the founding staff team. In 1985, when Jennifer Eplett Reilly took an investment banking job in New York City after graduating from Wellesley College, City Year – if not in name, at least in concept – was already churning in her mind. Jennie met Michael Brown and Alan Khazei through Jennie’s then-boyfriend (now husband) Sean Reilly, who lived with Michael and Alan while they were students at Harvard Law School. She remembers the hours spent in Cambridge brainstorming and strategizing a plan to launch a Boston-based youth service corps – which could serve as a national model – that would ask 52
Her experience helping to found City Year was the foundation of a career in public service that has spanned more than two decades. Highlights from her C.V. include serving as the founding executive director and then president of Echoing Green, the fellowship program that has helped to launch hundreds of new social enterprises; serving as a strategic advisor to Mitchell Landrieu in his first term as Lieutenant Governor of Louisiana; leading several innovative public-private partnerships in Louisiana, including New Schools for Baton Rouge; and sitting on several national nonprofit boards, including Be The Change and Teach For America.
“Jennie is, and always has been, a force of nature,” says Michael Brown, City Year’s co-founder and CEO. “She’s got a unique combination of joy, justice and personal will that’s powerful, inspiring and compelling.” Indeed, in the immediate aftermath of Hurricane Katrina, Jennie spearheaded the launch of City Year Louisiana (now City Year Baton Rouge and City Year New Orleans) in just 100 days – instead of the usual two-year time frame to establish a new City Year site. She then guided the site’s development as founding chair. A native of Lexington, MA, Jennie lives with Sean and their three children in Baton Rouge, LA, which is the global headquarters of Lamar Advertising, where Sean is the CEO. For the Reilly family, City Year has become a family affair. “My children have been blessed with the opportunity to grow up with City Year,” Jennie says. “They all have a social justice sensibility that is deeper and more thoughtful because of their City Year experience.” With Sean’s support, Lamar Advertising has become a generous corporate partner too, donating billboards across the country to help City Year raise awareness. Sean’s sister, Anna Reilly, was a member of the founding City Year staff team in 1988 and her husband, Matt Cullinan, have recently made a significant gift to support City Year’s work in high-poverty schools. After working full-time on City Year for its founding year, Jennie went back to school to study the business side of social change: in her class of 800 students at Harvard Business School, Jennie was one of a handful of HBS students to study social entrepreneurship. (Things have changed in the last 20 years: HBS now offers its students a concentration in social enterprise.) It’s an education – combined with a passion for social change – that she’s used throughout her career to develop innovative solutions to community issues guided by business principles, and to partner with social entrepreneurs who, she says, “See opportunities where other people see problems.”
Today, Jennie is a member of City Year’s national Board of Trustees, where she co-chairs the international committee, helping to guide the work of City Year affiliates in the UK and Johannesburg, South Africa. She also serves on the board of City Year Baton Rouge. Deeply philanthropic and committed to scaling highimpact social enterprises, Jennie and Sean have just pledged a leadership 10th Anniversary gift to City Year Baton Rouge, which has been matched by a gift from the Pennington Family Foundation to support its Long-Term Impact plan to help keep students in school and on track to their high school graduation. Jennie has seen – and helped lead – the organization’s evolution over the years: from that first corps of 50 young people serving in Boston, to the nearly 3,000 City Year AmeriCorps members serving today. Through it all, she thinks the organization’s unique value has always been the relationship and bond that corps members form with students. “Over time, we’ve come to understand that the biggest impact our extraordinary and diverse corps of young people has is on the next generation,” she says. “City Year corps members have extraordinary impact with the students they serve while engaging in a challenging year of real life citizenship. This whole experience brings our democracy to life in a powerful and transformative way.”

MICHAEL ALTER PRESIDENT, THE ALTER GROUP BOARD MEMBER, CITY YEAR CHICAGO, 1994-2014 FOUNDING BOARD CHAIR, CITY YEAR CHICAGO, 1994-2002

Michael Alter runs one of country’s leading real estate firms, owns a WNBA team, the Chicago Sky, and has some of Chicago’s biggest names on speed dial, but you’d never know it. Alter’s lowkey, no-ego style – he manages his own calendar – belies his role as one of Chicago’s powerbrokers.
could be brought to bear against some of the nation’s biggest challenges. “I’ve been a believer from the very beginning in the mission of City Year – the whole notion of challenging young people, that they will step up and want to serve if given the opportunity,” Alter says.
His connection to City Year began more than 25 years ago, as a freshman at Harvard. His assigned roommates happened to be City Year co-founders Michael Brown and Alan Khazei. The three started talking about voluntary service, and the idea that the energy and idealism of young people
Alter returned to Chicago after graduating from college, but he stayed in touch with his college pals, and in 1994 when City Year had an opportunity to expand, he made the case for his hometown of Chicago. In fact, City Year staffers charged with laying the groundwork for the new
site stayed in his mom’s house for weeks at a time. Twenty years later, Alter continues to be a steadfast believer in national service. “The importance of national service, of bringing diverse people together, those impulses are as strong as ever,” Alter says. “For me what’s been a surprise is how uniquely effective and impactful it is having these young, idealistic, passionate people involved.” He’s also whole-heartedly supported City Year’s commitment to focusing its work 100 percent in low-performing schools. Today, 206 City Year AmeriCorps members are serving in 21 schools in the south and west sides of Chicago. And Chicago Mayor Rahm Emanuel has publicly supported City Year’s plan to scale, with a goal of deploying 437 corps members into 39 schools, to help more students in Chicago graduate from high school prepared for college and the workforce. Alter has been helping City Year build relationships with Chicago funders and policy makers for decades. Case in point: he recruited Arne Duncan, now the U.S. Secretary of Education and a proponent of City Year nationally, to be a member of City Year Chicago’s Board. But he does more than that: every year, for the past 20 years, the Alter Group has sponsored a City Year team, and the Alter Family recently pledged a remarkable $1 million to support City Year Chicago’s campaign for Long-Term Impact.
champion at every step) have had two children give a year of service: their son Daniel, with City Year Washington D.C. and their daughter Lydia with City Year Boston. “It was very meaningful for me as a parent to see them grow and really step up and meet the challenges they faced every day with such incredible passion,” Alter says. “They both had terrific, fantastic, transformative years.” It’s impossible to have a conversation with Alter without talking about basketball. The sport was a big part of Alter’s life growing up (in high school he played AAU ball with Isaiah Thomas, the 12time NBA All-Star with the Detroit Pistons) and he credits the game with exposing him to people and places outside his everyday experience. The reasons he decided to buy the Chicago Sky aren’t so different from the reasons underlying his commitment to City Year. When Alter learned about the WNBA and its mission to encourage people to accept women athletes as on par with their male counterparts, he wanted Chicago to be part of it. “These women are great role models, incredibly inspiring people who are passionate about what they do,” Alter says, a thought rooted in his belief that sports – like service – is one of the few transformative experiences that can bring people together. “It’s about trying to make change in our society and our culture,” he says. That’s something we can all get behind.
“Michael Alter is our big picture guy, our visionary,” says Lisa Morrison Butler, executive director of City Year Chicago. “When you first get an inkling of something he helps you refine it – he knows at a gut level whether something is going to work, and he’s as effective a cheerleader as anyone I’ve ever known. I can’t imagine that we would be able to do what we are doing without his support and leadership.” City Year is also part of the Alter family.

STACEY SNIDER CO-CHAIRMAN, 20TH CENTURY FOX MEMBER, CITY YEAR LOS ANGELES BOARD
Last spring, on the Sony Pictures Studios lot in Culver City, a sold-out crowd of more than 1,400 attended City Year Los Angeles’ fourth annual Spring Break: Destination Education. Hollywood A-listers, including Jason Bateman and Octavia Spencer, mingled alongside young people, donors and City Year AmeriCorps members. They danced to a performance by singer Aloe Blacc, tried their hands at carnival games and posed for photos wrapped in City Year’s bright red and yellow jackets. A driving force behind this spectacular event also happens to be one of the most influential women in Hollywood: Stacey Snider, longtime co-chair and CEO of DreamWorks Studios and newly appointed co-chair of 20th Century Fox. 60
Snider, a member of City Year Los Angeles’s board, is the chair of Spring Break, an event that raised $1.5 million last year to support City Year’s work in schools. “The idea behind Spring Break was to create something different from other charity events in Hollywood,” Snider says. The opportunity for the event to reflect the values and virtues of City Year – “an organization for young people and led by young people,” she explains resonated with her, a mother of two high schoolaged daughters. “My kids see what these corps members are doing with their lives,” she says. “I want them to see that philanthropy is essential and that it can be fun.” At Spring Break, as at other City Year events, City Year AmeriCorps members take the stage to share
City Year is armed with the metrics that can persuade schools, city planners, investors and donors that this is a worthwhile investment. But there is nothing as compelling as hearing stories from corps members and students.
their stories. With credits on films including The Help, Lincoln, The Hundred Foot Journey, Meet the Parents, the Bourne series, and Erin Brockovich (among dozens of others), storytelling is the beating heart of Snider’s life’s work. “There’s nothing more compelling than a firstperson narrative,” Snider says. “City Year is armed with the metrics that can persuade schools, city planners, investors and donors that this is a worthwhile investment. But there is nothing as compelling as hearing stories from corps members and students.” Snider’s commitment to mentorship grew out of the support and guidance she experienced as a young professional. A key goal for Snider is encouraging others toward seeking a rewarding career path and chances for personal growth. “I feel very fortunate to have the career that I’ve had, and I feel a happy obligation to be a role model not just for young women, but young people in general,” she says. “I get to do something
that I love every day, and I feel great that I can create opportunities for young people to have meaningful careers, too.” After graduating from UCLA School of Law, Snider started her career as an assistant at a talent agency where she did everything from reading scripts to picking up $50,000 worth of gold chains for Mr. T. Snider laughs at the memory, but distinguishes it from the challenge set before City Year corps members. “The stakes couldn’t be higher,” Snider says. “In my case, if I didn’t deliver the package, it wasn’t going to affect someone’s life. The work these corps members do – the little victories here and there – make a real difference, a big difference, in kids’ lives.”

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 and the PepsiCo Foundation played a critical role in Diplomas Now being awarded a prestigious federal Department of Education (DOE) Investing in Innovation (i3) grant in 2010, and have helped catalyze the program into a national network of 40 schools in 14 cities, reaching more than 31,000 students each year.

Bank of America is a long-time supporter of national service and AmeriCorps programs. In response to needs across the country, the Bank of America Charitable Foundation focuses its philanthropy on improving the economic health of the communities it serves by targeting issues related to jobs, housing and hunger, according to Kerry Sullivan, president of the Foundation. “Workforce development and education are critical to ensuring individuals, including our nation’s young people, have opportunities to participate and succeed in ways that give them financial health,” Sullivan says. “City Year’s mission complements Bank of America’s community commitments.” As City Year has grown, and refined its focus and service in high-need, urban schools, Bank of America’s involvement and support City Year was just beginning to take shape in have deepened.

kids in school, giving young AmeriCorps members the opportunity to build skills, and offering pathways to employment. “As a company, we’re committed to strong partnerships that address some of the most challenging issues facing our society,” said Andrew Plepler, Bank of America’s Global Corporate Social Responsibility Executive. “Through its work with young people, City Year is a signature partner achieving this purpose.” The company supports programs aimed at helping high school students graduate with the education and life skills required to access post-secondary educational opportunities. That goes to the heart of City Year’s mission: developing learners and leaders. Bank of America also continues to play an integral role in helping City Year, Inc. build capacity, and it was pivotal in enabling the organization to purchase its headquarters in Boston’s Back Bay neighborhood, by supporting tax-exempt bond financing and bridge financing
for the project. Over the years, hundreds of Bank of America employees have also participated in City Year service days – cleaning up parks, painting murals in schools and planting trees. “We recognized early on that simply writing a check wasn’t enough,” Sullivan says. “Our partnerships are about engagement on many levels, working together on a point of impact.” To help City Year mark its 25th anniversary, Bank of America generously served as a Platinum Sponsor of the 25th Anniversary Gala event, which featured President Bill Clinton and the Boston Pops. Bank of America has been an essential City Year partner. “Having Bank of America with us every step of the way – their commitment and investment in our corps members, in the service they do, and in the national service movement – has made all the difference,” says Brown.

SENIOR LEADERSHIP PROFILE
SEAN HOLLERAN CHIEF OPERATING OFFICER, CITY YEAR, INC.
Sean Holleran, City Year’s chief operating officer, joined the organization 20 years ago as a corps member. Since then, he’s held positions at every level of the organization, including program manager (leading a team of corps members), senior vice president of site operations (running the team that manages City Year’s sites), and executive director of City Year Greater Philadelphia. Holleran grew up 40 minutes from New York City and matriculated at Northeastern University in Boston with the belief that he was destined for a career on Wall Street. It wasn’t until a City Year information session during his senior year – hosted by his college friend Jim Balfanz (now the president of City Year) – that Holleran chose a different path. “When you serve you realize that you – one individual – can make a difference, can change a child’s life, and it’s overwhelming,” Holleran says. “It was the first time I understood the connection between responsibility and citizenship.” How would you describe your role as City Year’s Chief Operating Officer? My job is to help shape City Year’s goals and to help align the organization to execute against those goals. There’s a feedback loop – the connective tissue between strategy and execution – that keeps my work fresh and alive, so my calendar is a healthy balance between pursuing our strategic initiatives and managing day-to-day operations.
92
Can you talk about a few of the projects you’re leading to help City Year achieve its LongTerm Impact goals? The truth is that City Year is not yet optimized to reach our full potential, and one of the ways we’re addressing that is through some changes to our structure. I’ll give you a couple of examples. I’m working with the rest of our senior leadership team to determine our strategy execution map: the path we need to take between today and the
realization of our Long Term Impact goals. We want to execute against those goals as efficiently as possible, while building alignment between all of our different departments. Another big project we’re working on is the Operating Model Transformation (OMT). The OMT is actually a four-year project – we’re currently in year two – that is closely examining how we operate and how we’re structured to maximize effectiveness, and allow the sites to really focus their resources on delivering results. It’s about making changes to ensure that City Year is built on a foundation that can take us to scale. Over the next two years, as a result of the OMT work, we will be migrating 12 functions currently executed at the site level – ranging from recruitment, to marketing, to evaluation – either into a regionalized model or into shared services housed at headquarters. It seems like there are many significant changes underway. What is City Year doing to help the organization manage change? What we’ve learned through all of this is that we can’t make assumptions – we can’t assume, for example, that the organization will just accept change without question. We are working to understand where people get stuck in the change process and how to help them overcome those barriers. We’re training our leaders – creating black belts in change management – so they’ll be better able to lead staff through change. We’re hoping that this enables the change we’re making currently to stick, but will also help the organization navigate future changes.
City Year from many other places. Our values have to run through everything we do, especially during a time of change, or we’d lose a sense of who we are. Which of the City Year values resonate most with you? I strive to embody Level 5 Leadership – great ambition for the organization combined with deep personal humility – a core City Year value that comes from author Jim Collins. You have to lead with humility. I have great respect for the people I work with and believe we are best when we are collaborative. At the same time, I have big ambitions for City Year; I want to advance the work and ensure we are meeting our goals. The great balance is to do that with humility – personally and organizationally. I think “Ubuntu” is related to Level 5 leadership. “Ubuntu” is a Zulu saying that means I am a person through other people; my humanity is tied to yours. I know that any success has many authors. There is something about the collective nature of our work – that something that you do affects the outcome for someone else. The more we are in touch with that, the more we’ll be able to act as one.
City Year has ten core values. How do those values figure into your day-to-day work? The first thing I did as chief operating officer wasn’t to dive into our operational metrics, it was to refresh our values. I think about our values every day – those values are what make City Year a magical place to work, and what differentiate 93

EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR PROFILE
SANDRA LOPEZ BURKE CITY YEAR BOSTON, EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR VICE PRESIDENT, CITY YEAR, INC.
When Boston Public Schools (BPS) adjusted its school bus routes this fall, thousands of middle school students needed to take city buses and the T (Boston’s subway) to get to and from school for the first time. BPS asked City Year to support students, realizing that some might be new to public transport, so early-morning passengers in Dorchester were likely to see City Year Boston’s Executive Director, Sandra Lopez Burke, out in front of the station waving hello and conferring with kids on their routes to school. The scene illustrates Sandra’s approach to City Year Boston and its commitment to Boston’s students: Whatever it takes. Since becoming City Year Boston’s executive director in 2007, Sandra has led the organization’s first site through a period of remarkable transformation. She’s made critical investments to expand professional staff, and with her leadership team, built a strong partnership with the school district and with local funders. As a result, she’s doubled City Year Boston’s reach in only six years: from 140 corps members serving in 10 schools in 2008, to 265 corps members serving in 21 schools today, with a plan for continued growth. “Under Sandra’s leadership, City Year Boston has expanded its reach, ramped up its impact, and recruited 96
talented people to work for the cause,” says City Year co-founder and CEO Michael Brown. “She’s inspired a remarkable set of philanthropic people and companies to get behind her and get results for students.” Sandra arrived in Boston in 1999. For the Brownsville, Texas native, the move was a big one. “I didn’t know anyone,” she says. “It was a giant leap of faith driving three kids and a dog across the country.” After a career in Texas that included leading the San Antonio Sports Foundation, time in the San Antonio Mayor’s office, and serving as the Executive Director of the 1998 NCAA Men’s Final Four basketball tournament (the Kentucky Wildcats beat the Utah Utes 78 to 69 – there’s a photo of the final game hanging in her office), Sandra accepted a position as vice president of Boston 2000, the nonprofit organization tasked
with creating a millennial celebration for the city. Sandra – who is warm and energetic and happiest in a sea of people – saw the position as an opportunity to get to know her new community. Her approach to the job put her in frequent, face-to-face contact with corporate, nonprofit and education leaders. “Our ideas always went back to the people of Boston,” Sandra says. “Collaboration was key and the folks I met were extraordinary; it inspired me to want to stay and be part of this city.” When Sandra was looking for her next project, a friend recommended she talk with City Year co-founder Alan Khazei. City Year, it turned out, was an ideal fit for Sandra – first as a fundraiser, then as Khazei’s chief of staff, and ultimately as the leader who would see City Year Boston through its transformation from a general service organization to one focused on supporting students and schools. Sandra’s intuitive appreciation for community building was critical to forging a strong partnership with BPS. Her relationship with district leaders won City Year Boston the opportunity to prove that its model could drive results for students; and the results made the case to the school district to integrate City Year Boston into its overall plan. “It’s all about the people and the relationships,” she says. “We looked at the district’s plan and went through it to determine where we aligned – to find where we could deliver results – then offered that support and a plan to work together. We strive to be a reliable, effective partner.” City Year Boston has served in all of Boston’s designated turnaround schools, is halfway to its goal of reaching the majority of off-track students, and has a pathway – supported by Boston Public Schools – to eventually deploy corps members to 36 Boston schools. “The most successful education reform strategies focus on the individual needs of students and differentiates interventions to overcome challenges,” said Dr. Carol Johnson, retired
Superintendent of the Boston Public Schools and a member of the City Year, Inc. Board of Trustees. “Sandra and her team are extraordinary in fostering strong relationships between corps members and our teachers and school leaders and building the kind of supportive teams that are flexible enough to provide the right services to the right students at the right time.” City Year is also part of the larger Boston community, in good times and in bad. When Governor Patrick needed dozens of extra hands after the Boston Marathon bombing in April 2013, he called City Year Boston for help: AmeriCorps members served as ushers at the memorial service and later at the one-year anniversary event. “We are proud to be part of the fabric of this city,” Sandra says. “If you wear the red jacket, there is a level of collaboration and partnership that comes with it.” Two of Sandra’s four children served with City Year, and have continued to support the City Year community by giving back as alumni. She insists her children made the choice to serve on their own, but she does acknowledge how proud she is that they put into action the values she tried to instill in her family. Those personal values also translate at the office, as a friend and colleague. “If there’s one thing everyone knows about Sandra, it’s that, in addition to being a truly exceptional leader, she has deep personal empathy, an amazing ability to know when people need encouragement and human connection,” Brown says. “She is always thinking about others – her staff and corps, the students, and her community – and she’s always there for those in need,” Brown says. The Texas transplant could not be more committed to the city of Boston or to getting better results for kids. “It’s what I was put on this earth to do – be a part of making things better – and with the City Year community I get to make the world a better place for all of us. “

ALUMNI PROFILE
ALEN AMINI
'10
CO-CHAIR, CITY YEAR COLUMBUS ALUMNI BOARD MEMBER, NATIONAL CITY YEAR ALUMNI ADVISORY BOARD
Alen Amini, 27, has been described as a Marvel Comics superhero who never sleeps. But he’s too modest to accept that compliment. Alen (pronounced Allen) began his public service career with City Year Columbus in 2009. He put in three more years with AmeriCorps programs, serving with Public Allies and Teach For America (TFA), before accepting a position as dean of students at Lakeside High School in rural Arkansas – the same school where’d he taught for two years with TFA. Next fall, he’ll matriculate at the John F. Kennedy School of Government at Harvard University, where he intends to investigate the ways public policy can create opportunities for people and communities to empower themselves. A native of Ohio, Alen is the child of Iranian immigrants. His father was a rug merchant who owned a small business. “He was big on giving people a chance to work for him and helping them grow professionally,” Alen says while recalling a man named Charles, who hadn’t graduated from high school, but was hired by his
110
dad to help out around the shop, and eventually learned to repair and sell rugs himself. Alen studied business at Miami University (Ohio), graduating with a degree in operations management. As a student, he volunteered at a community crisis center and witnessed the kind of hardships others faced. He interviewed for several high-paying private sector jobs as graduation approached, but what ultimately won out was the opportunity to serve with City Year. As a City Year Columbus AmeriCorps member Alen worked with third grade students and helped improve their reading proficiency by an average of 1.3 grade levels by the end of the year. He never considered City Year to be a time-out from his career, but rather an opportunity to build toward it. “You gain very tangible skills in becoming an effective team member,” Alen says. “There are opportunities for leadership both great and small. I learned a lot working with a diverse group, not just racially or religiously diverse, but offering different perspectives, different skills.”
There are opportunities for leadership both great and small. I learned a lot working with a diverse group, not just racially or religiously diverse, but offering different perspectives, different skills.
The experience with City Year also encouraged Alen to see the world in new ways. “As a corps member, I saw first-hand the face of the injustice,” he recalls. “As someone who had been afforded a good public education in Ohio, from kindergarten through undergraduate university, I was stunned to see that these students weren’t given the same things I was given.” But he also saw the impact that extra support and higher expectations could have. “Just 20 to 30 minutes of regular tutoring could make the difference in getting them to read at grade level,” he says. That commitment to redefining what’s possible is what drives Alen, even in his “off” hours. He’s the co-founder of Delta Horizons, which has raised more than $150,000 for educational domestic and international student trips. He also initiated the first city-wide internship for minority students in Greenville, MS, and helped found the Mississippi River Marathon, which generated $750,000 in economic impact for the community. For his ongoing commitment to service, Alen received
the Comcast NBCUniversal Leadership Award, which recognizes a few outstanding City Year alumni each year for their ongoing commitment to social change and City Year’s core values. City Year is fortunate to have Alen on its National Alumni Advisory Board. He also co-chairs the alumni board for City Year Columbus. “We’re working to engage alumni to provide their insight and make sure that corps members have a very strong year of service, because that in turn means they have more impact, and might dedicate more time in their lives to battling inequity,” Alen says. “The organization in Columbus, and nationally, too, is really pushing forward.”
