Our Service Partners

Every 26 seconds, a student drops out of high school. Those most likely to drop out can be identified in time to provide interventions - as early as middle school. Students who are most at risk of dropping out can be identified through key indicators: poor attendance, unsatisfactory behavior and course failure in math and English.

City Year's In School & On Track strategy addresses Cleveland's and the nation's dropout crisis and melds perfectly with the Cleveland Metropolitan School District's Transformation Plan. To help students and schools stay in school, succeed and graduate, teams of City Year Cleveland corps members serve in five Cleveland high schools.

2011-2012 High School Service Partners

For the 2011-2012 service year teams of 7-10 corps members serve at Glenville High School, East Technical High School, John F. Kennedy High School, Martin Luther King, Jr. Career Campus and Thomas Jefferson Ninth Grade Academy. Corps members serve nine hours a day, Monday through Thursday, collaborating with teachers to identify and get off-track ninth grade students back on track to graduating. These teams:

• Provide one-on-one and small group English, mathematics and science tutoring during and after school;
• Mentor and serve as role models for students as near-peers;
• Support initiatives that build school pride and improve the learning environment;
• Build students' "community capital" by conducting service learning projects in neighborhoods and schools; and
• Collaborate with teachers and principals to develop and deliver individual student success/intervention plans.
