“Form 990, part 1, line 1 & part iii, line 1 continued: as tutors, mentors and role models, these diverse young leaders help children stay in school and on track, and transform schools and communities across the united states.”

“Form 990, part iii, lines 4a & 4b 4a - in school service (continued): in each of city year's 352 partner schools, the team provides academic support, attendence monitoring and incentives, positive behavior support, after-school programng events (such as assemblies and celebrations) that improve the overall school environment. The service model helps the corps members have an impact beyond the 36,678 students reached directly through one-on-one and small group instruction. Corps members change the environment of a school by immediately changing the ratio of students to responsible, caring adults. In addition to the in-school services, 9,466 students were provided with after-school and school vacation programs. 4b - youth civic engagement (continued): city year was founded on the belief that a year of national service could serve as a civic rite of passage - a uniquely transformational life experience that, while helping transform communites in need, could bend the trajectory of an idealistic young person's life towards a lifetime of active citizenship and civic leadership. These principles guide the "idealist's journey," a full curriculum that all corps members experience as part of their own development as leaders.”
