Comments on: City Year, New York Corps http://ypwr.blogs.cnn.com/2008/12/07/city-year/ Wed, 02 Dec 2009 16:54:56 +0000 http://wordpress.com/ hourly 1 By: parent http://ypwr.blogs.cnn.com/2008/12/07/city-year/#comment-4401 parent Mon, 04 May 2009 10:53:19 +0000 http://ypwr.blogs.cnn.com/?p=386#comment-4401 What is the graduation rate? My daughter was just fired from CYNY after 7 1/2 months of 50-60hours/week of service for being tardy too many times. She was allowed to make up the time, but they decided she could no longer do this. She is out the $5000 scholarship and we are out the 3000 mile plane rides and financial support over the past 8 months. Her team is down to 3. Her job performance was outstanding and she had letters of support from the teachers she worked with. The 2nd grader who was no longer skipping school because of her will most likely go back to skipping. Helping NY kids and Corps members? Not really. What is the graduation rate?

I am so proud of you. City Year is a great organization that is evolving more and more each year. As a new corp. member I am experiencing more and new things each day I serve in P.S. 309 in Bed- Stuy. Like a child I feel City Year has learned from its mistakes in the past and is getting better and better each year. I feel taking a year can not only help a corp member change the world, but can help them open up their mind to new ideas and perspectives. I know so far this year I have met new people, adopted new ideas and added to the knowledge I already have. City Year truly helps all the youth that wear these red jackets every day break down barriers and abolish prejudices. City Year is a great start for anyone to a great future. Good Job Guys!!!
