EXECUTIVE SUMMARY THE COMMUNITY SERVICE SOCIETY OF NEW YORK (CSS) IS A 172-YEAR-OLD NOT-FOR-PROFIT ORGANIZATION DEDICATED TO FIGHTING POVERTY AND STRENGTHENING OUR CITY. THROUGHOUT OUR HISTORY, CSS HAS EMBRACED THE IDEA THAT POLICY RECOMMENDATIONS GROUNDED IN RESEARCH AND INFORMED BY REAL LIFE EXPERIENCES INSPIRE LEGISLATIVE REMEDIES THAT ASSIST POPULATIONS IN NEED. AS AN ORGANIZATION THAT HAS BEEN ON THE CUTTING EDGE OF PUBLIC POLICY SINCE 1843, WE HAVE HELD A LEAD ROLE IN SHAPING NEW YORK CITY'S COMMUNITY LIFE. OUR LEGACY INCLUDES ESTABLISHING THE PROTOTYPE FOR THE FREE SCHOOL LUNCH PROGRAM, SERVING AS THE CATALYST BEHIND THE CITY'S FIRST TENEMENT HOUSING LAWS, AIDING VICTIMS OF THE TITANIC MARITIME DISASTER AND WORLD TRADE CENTER EMPLOYEES IMPACTED BY THE TERRORIST ATTACKS OF SEPTEMBER 11, 2001, CREATING THE NATION'S LARGEST SENIOR VOLUNTEER PROGRAM, AND DEVELOPING THE CURRICULUM THAT SPAWNED THE COLUMBIA UNIVERSITY SCHOOL OF SOCIAL WORK. TODAY, WE CONTINUE TO INVEST IN THAT VISION THROUGH A UNIQUE HYBRID MODEL COMPRISED OF FIVE STREAMS OF ACTIVITY: 1) RESEARCH TO IDENTIFY UNDERLYING CAUSES AND STIMULI OF POVERTY; 2) ADVOCACY AT ALL LEVELS OF GOVERNMENT; 3) DIRECT SERVICE TO INDIVIDUALS AND INSTITUTIONS IN POOR COMMUNITIES; 4) VOLUNTEERISM TO STRENGTHEN COMMUNITY LIFE; AND 5) STRATEGIC PARTNERSHIPS WITH PUBLIC AND PRIVATE SECTOR LEADERSHIP. THROUGH THIS COMPREHENSIVE APPROACH, CSS SPURS LASTING, SYSTEMIC CHANGE BY PROMOTING POLICIES AND PROGRAMS THAT ADVANCE THE ECONOMIC SECURITY OF THE WORKING POOR. A SNAPSHOT OF OUR RECENT ACCOMPLISHMENTS INCLUDES: * CONDUCTING GROUNDBREAKING RESEARCH ON BLACK MALE JOBLESSNESS, DISCONNECTED LATINO YOUTH, IMMIGRANT HOUSING ISSUES, AND NEW YORK'S FAILING GED SYSTEM; * PRODUCING THE UNHEARD THIRD, THE ONLY PUBLIC OPINION SURVEY OF ITS KIND, WHICH ANNUALLY TRACKS THE CONCERNS AND HARDSHIPS OF NEW YORK CITY'S LOW-INCOME RESIDENTS AS WELL AS THEIR VIEWS ON WHAT PROGRAMS AND POLICIES WOULD HELP THEM GET AHEAD; * CREATING AND LEADING A STATEWIDE COALITION OF MORE THAN 100 ORGANIZATIONS DEDICATED TO WINNING AFFORDABLE, COMPREHENSIVE, AND HIGH QUALITY HEALTH CARE FOR ALL NEW YORKERS. EDUCATION PLAYS A CRUCIAL ROLE IN BREAKING THE INTER-GENERATIONAL CYCLE OF POVERTY, YET FAR TOO MANY CHILDREN?PARTICULARLY THOSE WHO LIVE IN LOW-INCOME COMMUNITIES?LACK ACCESS TO QUALITY ACADEMIC SUPPORT AND FAIL TO READ PROFICIENTLY BY THE END OF THIRD GRADE. RESEARCH CONFIRMS THAT STUDENTS WHO SUFFER WITH LOW LITERACY SKILLS AT THIS FUNDAMENTAL AGE ARE MORE LIKELY TO STRUGGLE THROUGHOUT THEIR ENTIRE ACADEMIC CAREER, WHICH LEADS TO DEVASTATING IMPACTS, INCLUDING HIGHER DROPOUT AND UNEMPLOYMENT RATES. IN A CITY WHERE ONLY 65% OF HIGH SCHOOL STUDENTS GRADUATE AND NEARLY 200,000 YOUNG PEOPLE (AGES 16-24) ARE BOTH OUT OF SCHOOL AND OUT OF WORK, NYC?S HIGH-POVERTY NEIGHBORHOODS NEED MORE SUPPORT IN ORDER TO ENSURE ITS YOUNG PEOPLE HAVE THE OPPORTUNITY TO ACHIEVE FUTURE FINANCIAL STABILITY. CSS DESIGNED EXPERIENCE CORPS TO ADDRESS THE DEEP-SEATED ISSUES DESCRIBED ABOVE. LAUNCHED IN 1995, OUR INTER-GENERATIONAL TUTORING MODEL, WHICH IS ALIGNED WITH NATIONAL STANDARDS, HELPS CLOSE ACHIEVEMENT GAPS WITHIN NEW YORK CITY?S LOW-PERFORMING PUBLIC SCHOOLS BY BRINGING TOGETHER A TEAM OF COMMITTED OLDER ADULT VOLUNTEERS, A NETWORK OF EDUCATORS, AND A RESEARCH-BASED APPROACH TO IMPROVE THE READING SKILLS OF CHILDREN IN GRADES K-2. OUR MENTORS COMPLETE 32 HOURS OF RIGOROUS TRAINING, MASTER OUR BOOK BUDDIES CURRICULUM, AND TUTOR STRUGGLING STUDENTS FOUR DAYS PER WEEK FOR 16 HOURS THROUGH IN-CLASS ASSISTANCE AND ONE-ON-ONE SESSIONS THAT ARE TAILORED TO THE SPECIFIC NEEDS OF EACH STUDENT. THIS COMBINATION OF PERSONAL AND ACADEMIC GUIDANCE BOOSTS STUDENT CONFIDENCE AND ENHANCES PERFORMANCE IN SCHOOL DURING A CRITICAL STAGE OF CHILDHOOD DEVELOPMENT. EXPERIENCE CORPS IS CRUCIAL TO CSS?S MISSION OF CREATING A STRONGER, MORE EQUITABLE CITY BY LEVELING THE PLAYING FIELD FOR STUDENTS WHO LIVE IN HIGH POVERTY NEIGHBORHOODS?THE
