  I have always been a suppporter of the City Year Organization. Im sure this is something that we are all familiar with but if not here is a short bio of the company and a link to the website to read more about it.
  
  
  City Year's mission is to build democracy through citizen service, civic leadership and social entrepreneurship. It is through service that we can demonstrate the power and idealism of young people, engage citizens to benefit the common good, and develop young leaders of the next generation.
  
  City Year is wholly focused on fighting the national dropout crisis. We have committed to leverage the talent, energy and idealism of corps members to serve as tutors, mentors and role models in schools to help students stay on track - and get back on track - to graduate.
  
  Our corps members do this by focusing on three early warning indicators that have been defined through research: attendance, behavior and course performance in math and English.
  
  City Year's In School & On Track initiative is designed to bring City Year corps members to 50% of all of the students falling off track in City Year's 24 U.S. locations, which will require expanding the number of corps members to 6,000 and engaging school districts, the private sector and the federal government through AmeriCorps as partners.
