Louisiana 2009 - 2010 Louisiana 2009 - 2010 Meeting community needs in Louisiana. More than 24,000 people of all ages and backgrounds are helping to meet local needs, strengthen communities, and increase civic engagement through 186 national service projects across Louisiana. Serving with national and local nonprofits, schools, faith-based organizations and other groups, these citizens tutor and mentor children, coordinate after-school programs, build homes, conduct neighborhood patrols, restore the environment, respond to disasters, build nonprofit capacity and recruit and manage volunteers. This year, the Corporation for National and Community Service will commit more than $16,600,000 to support Louisiana communities through three national service initiatives: Senior Corps: More than 9,500 seniors in Louisiana contribute their time and talents in one of three Senior Corps programs. Foster Grandparents serve one-on-one as tutors and mentors to more than 3,480 young people who have special needs. Senior Companions help more than 4,730 homebound seniors and other adults maintain independence in their own homes. RSVP volunteers conduct safety patrols for local police departments, protect the environment, tutor and mentor youth, respond to natural disasters, and provide other services through more than 720 groups across Louisiana. AmeriCorps: This year AmeriCorps will provide more than 1,300 individuals the opportunity to provide intensive, results-driven service to meet education, environmental, health, economic and other pressing needs in communities across Louisiana. Most AmeriCorps grant funding goes to the Governor-appointed Louisiana Serve Commission, which in turn awards grants to nonprofit groups to respond to local needs. Most of the remainder of the grant funding is distributed by the Corporation directly to multi-state and national organizations through a competitive grants process. Other individuals will serve through AmeriCorps VISTA, whose members help bring individuals and communities out of poverty by serving full-time to fight illiteracy, improve health services, create businesses and increase housing opportunities, and AmeriCorps NCCC (National Civilian Community Corps), a 10-month, full time residential program for men and women between the ages of 18 and 24. In exchange for their service, AmeriCorps members earn an education award that can be used to pay for college or to pay back qualified student loans. Since 1994, more than 9,900 Louisiana residents have served more than 11 million hours and have qualified for Segal AmeriCorps Education Awards totaling more than $21,300,000. Learn and Serve America: Learn and Serve America provides grants to schools, colleges, and nonprofit groups to engage more than 13,000 Louisiana students in community service linked to academic achievement and the development of civic skills. This type of learning, called service- learning, improves communities while preparing young people for a lifetime of responsible citizenship. Learn and Serve America also provides curricula and other resources to teachers, faculty members, schools, and community groups. The Corporation for National and Community Service is a federal agency that improves lives, strengthens communitites, and fosters civic engagement through service and volunteering. The Corporation anually engages more than five million Americans in service to meet local needs through Senior Corps, AmeriCorps, and Learn and Serve America, and leads President Obama's national call to service initiative, United We Serve.

    ANALYSIS OF THE IMPACTS OF CITY YEAR’S WHOLE SCHOOL WHOLE CHILD MODEL ON PARTNER SCHOOLS’ PERFORMANCE June 4, 2015 Julie Meredith Leslie M. Anderson POLICY STUDIES ASSOCIATES, INC. Commissioned by City Year Analysis of the Impacts of City Year’s Whole School Whole Child Model on Partner Schools’ Performance City Year is an education-focused organization founded in 1988 dedicated to helping students and schools succeed. City Year partners with public schools in 26 urban, high-poverty communities across the United States and through interna- tional affiliates in the United Kingdom and Johannesburg, South Africa. Diverse teams of City Year AmeriCorps mem- bers provide student, classroom, and schoolwide support to help students stay in school and on track to graduate from high school, ready for college and career success. A proud member of the AmeriCorps national service network, City Year is made possible by support from the Corporation for National and Community Service, school district partnerships, and private philanthropy from corporations, foundations, and individuals. City Year AmeriCorps members are 17- to 24-year-olds who commit to one year of full-time service in elementary, middle, or high schools. Working on 7- to 18-person, school-based teams, City Year AmeriCorps members (or corps members) de- liver City Year’s Whole School Whole Child (WSWC) model, which is a portfolio of services delivered in and outside of the classroom. Specifically, the model is intended to serve all students in a school, providing additional support to students at risk of dropping out based on their attendance, behavior, and course performance.

  • For Student Success
    TRANSFORMING School Environments OUR VISION For Student Success Weaving SKILLS ROPES Relationships 2018 Annual Report Practices to Help All Students Our Vision for Student Success City Year has always been about nurturing and developing young people, from the talented students we serve to our dedicated AmeriCorps members. We put this commitment to work through service in schools across the country. Every day, our AmeriCorps members help students to develop the skills and mindsets needed to thrive in school and in life, while they themselves acquire valuable professional experience that prepares them to be leaders in their careers and communities. We believe that all students can succeed. Supporting the success of our students goes far beyond just making sure they know how to add fractions or write a persuasive essay—students also need to know how to work in teams, how to problem solve and how to work toward a goal. City Year AmeriCorps members model these behaviors and mindsets for students while partnering with teachers and schools to create supportive learning environments where students feel a sense of belonging and agency as they develop the social, emotional and academic skills that will help them succeed in and out of school. When our children succeed, we all benefit.

    volunteer impact report city year boston 2018-2019 service in boston 4 building partnerships 10 volunteer impact 13 community 16 mindfulness 17 before/after 18 get involved 19 Service is a priority I love Boston, and I love getting to know the people and communities that make our neighborhoods thrive. So, I am pleased to present City Year’s 2018-2019 Volunteer Impact Report! City Year has been building connections through service in Boston for over 30 years. In that time, we’ve created lasting partnerships founded on the idea that service groups can and do make a difference. We work closely with Boston Public Schools to support the future of our communities: our students. Teams of AmeriCorps members serve in schools, improving students’ attendance, motivation to learn, and performance in English and math. We also recognize that many factors contribute to students’ success­­—including a supportive, bright learning environment. So, each year, our AmeriCorps members engage thousands of volunteers in projects that contribute to the vibrancy of schools, hallways, and classrooms. We know that learning also takes place outside of schools, so we regularly engage in service projects that show students we are invested in their whole lives by serving in parks, community centers, and beyond. As you will read in this report, these projects are designed in consultation with students, teachers, and neighbors so that we can provide precisely the outcomes that will best benefit those we serve. We couldn’t complete these important service days without our amazing volunteers and partners, a group of committed citizens who want to send a strong message to the students of Boston that we are all in this together and that their success will be our success.

  • Putting Alumni on the Path to Lifelong Civic Engagement
    THE CITY YEAR EXPERIENCE: PUTTING ALUMNI ON THE PATH TO LIFELONG CIVIC ENGAGEMENT Leslie M. Anderson Lara Fabiano January 2007 Prepared for City Year, Inc. Acknowledgments The report authors would like to thank all the City Year alumni who completed a survey. Many took the time to share illustrative examples of their City Year experiences, which allowed us to bring their voices directly into the report. A special thank you goes to the PSA project team who were tireless in collecting and analyzing the survey data. In particular, we’d like to thank Kate Laguarda who has been a devoted team member, gracing this project with her many thoughtful ideas and suggestions regarding study design, data collection, analysis, and reporting. In addition, Kate spent many a long day organizing and following up with legions of staff who called every non-respondent in search of a completed survey. Much of the credit for the collection of over 2,000 alumni surveys is Kate’s alone. We’d also like to thank Imeh Williams, who worked diligently on the organization and analysis—and reanalysis—of the benchmarking data. Other members of the project team who helped with data collection and analysis include Monica Mielke, Sara Allender, and Marjorie Cohen. Esther Adepetu brought dogged determination to her task of mailing and re-mailing survey after survey and didn’t seem to mind when her office was eventually overrun with surveys. A special thanks to Sebastian Castrechini and Allan Klinge who happily accepted the task of checking numbers, creating charts, and summarizing information. Finally, thanks also go to Elizabeth Reisner for reviewing the report and providing us with her thoughtful suggestions and to Ullik Rouk for her editing skills.
