Give a Year. Change the World
give a year. change the world. ANNUAL REPORT & DONOR RECOGNITION BOOK 2010 Dear Friends, Education is the foundation of the American dream. Yet more than one million students give up on school in the United States every year. The high school dropout crisis is a national epidemic that requires bold action. There is hope. We know how to identify the students most at risk and we know what they need to succeed. Research shows that we can identify students who are likely to drop out as early as middle school by tracking early warning indicators of poor attendance, behavior issues and course failure in math and English. City Year is harnessing the energy and idealism of young adults in national service and placing them in these high-need schools to help students stay on track – and get back on track – to graduation and life success. This year, City Year united more than 1,500 diverse young leaders in full-time service to help turn around our lowest performing schools, close the education achievement gap and help students succeed. City Year deploys our AmeriCorps members into high-poverty schools, serving as "near-peer" role models and performance coaches, helping students develop socio-emotionally and achieve academically. Corps members work with at-risk students from 7:30 a.m. until the last student leaves the after-school program at dusk. We are seeing promising results: sharp increases in student attendance, progress in behavior and improved course performance in math and English. In 2010, 90% of all students tutored by City Year improved raw literacy scores, and the number of students with less than 90% attendance was cut in half as a result of City Year’s attendance support activities.

What principles and priorities would you apply during this period of budgetary constraints? Government’s first obligation must be to protect our society’s most vulnerable . That is why I’ve worked so hard in the City Council to fight child hunger, to support hard- working New Yorkers by bringing federal dollars into our city, and to provide real opportunity. I’m proud of what I’ve accomplished: • I brought national attention to the difficulties faced by food stamp recipients by living on only $28 a week for food, the same amount of money that weekly food stamps allow. I lobbied Congress to increase funding for food stamps , and put the application online to make it easier for New Yorkers to apply. • I helped improve living conditions for homeless New Yorkers with AIDS , exposed worker safety violations, and took on predatory lenders who rip off working people 1 • I worked with residents and business to bring the first bank to Queensbridge , the largest public housing development in America, giving residents an alternative to high interest payday lenders and helping them begin to save and break the cycle of poverty.

Description of Place Where Is It
New York City’s Forgotten Industrial Waterway: Assessment, Goals, and Indicators for Long-term Sustainability of the Newtown Creek Lindsay K. Campbell Winner of the 2007 Citizen Science Writing Competition Presented at the United Nations 15th Commission on Sustainable Development May 2, 2007 Abstract This policy paper suggests a strategy towards sustainable development of the Newtown Creek – an industrial waterway in New York, NY. The Newtown Creek was transformed from a meandering and flooding river into an industrial corridor made of channels and bulkheads. Yet, in the past 50 years, industry in New York City has undergone massive retrenchment. Left behind is a waterway that serves the scant remaining industrial functions, hosts waste transfer and sewage treatment facilities, provides current and potential habitat for birds and fish, offers developable waterfront space, and provides recreation and education opportunities. Given these extremely diverse functions, there is disagreement over the vision for the future of the Newtown. The sustainable development and environmental justice challenge for the Newtown lies in balancing water-dependent industrial uses that serve citywide populations with the need for local public space and economic development. A vision of the Newtown as a “green working waterfront” provides opportunity for public, private, and civil society collaboration towards a new, more vibrant future for this industrial waterway. In pursuit of that vision, this paper advances four main goals, with concurrent policy suggestions, and proposed indicators to monitor progress towards these goals.
