  • 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.

Before the impact of COVID-19, Elena worked in a restaurant kitchen. Due to the economic fallout from the pandemic, she— like tens of millions of people across the country—lost her job. As Elena saw the nutritious food available for her to take home to help feed her family of seven, she smiled, excited about the meals she could prepare amid a devastating time of unemployment and uncertainty.

  • COMIC RELIEF USA 2017 ANNUAL REPORT 2017 Annual Report | Comic Relief USA
    COMIC RELIEF USA 2017 ANNUAL REPORT 2017 Annual Report | Comic Relief USA LETTER FROM THE CHAIRMAN 2017 was a significant year in the evolution of Comic Relief USA. We continued to lay the foundations for a successful future and furthered our work to make a difference in the lives of so many children in America and around the world. This year marked the delivery of a third, hugely successful Red Nose Day USA—with record breaking income—and proved the mettle of the team as they took on a new challenge in response to the devastating hurricanes in Texas, Florida and Puerto Rico. For the first time, this year’s Red Nose Day campaign saw almost all of our core operational, marketing and KEVIN leadership roles filled by a full-time permanent staff based out of our New York offices—a shift which marks CAHILL a real “passing of the baton” from the Comic Relief UK team. We have made great strides in developing our policies and procedures to help the team to work most effectively with each other, our corporate and grantee partners, and the UK organization. We are so grateful for all of the excellent support the Comic Relief UK team has provided as we initially built up operations in the US. Their experience and knowledge has been invaluable. At the end of such a successful and important year for the organization, I am sad to say that I am stepping down as the Chair of the Board after 11 years, though I am staying on for a while as a member of the Board of Directors to support the transition process.

  • Altruism, Empathy, and Efficacy: the Science Behind Engaging Supporters
    ALTRUISM, EMPATHY & EFFICACY 0 ALTRUISM, EMPATHY & EFFICACY ALTRUISM, EMPATHY & EFFICACY ABOUT THE PUBLISHER Georgetown University’s Center for Social Impact Communication (CSIC) is a research and action center dedicated to increasing social impact through the power of marketers, communicators, fundraisers and journalists working together. As part of the University’s School of Continuing Studies, the Center accomplishes its mission of educating and inspiring practitioners and students through applied research, graduate courses, community collaborations and thought leadership. To contact the Center, please email [email protected] or visit us online at http://csic.georgetown.edu/. ABOUT THIS GUIDE What you have in your hands is part applied literature review and part hypothesis on how we can better motivate audiences to support nonprofit causes, using the research of social scientists and the experience of social impact practitioners alike. Social impact practitioners can take many forms. They can be fundraisers working at a nonprofit or social marketers working on one of the many government-funded behavior change programs. They can be communicators working for socially-driven companies or even journalists working for cause-driven media outlets. But ultimately this guide is designed to help you—under whatever label best suits you— to make better decisions in how to talk to your supporters. The social impact space, much like the marketing and communications industry at large, is filled with cautionary tales from “gut” marketers who make decisions based on what they think will work best, instead of what we know will work best based on the science of human behavior and the measuring of past performance.
