CITY YEAR JACKSONVILLE
Research shows that students at risk of dropping out of school can be identified as early as the sixth grade by three early
warning indicators – poor attendance, disruptive behavior and course failure in math and English. Through the Whole
School, Whole Child service model, City Year AmeriCorps members support at risk students through in-class tutoring,
mentorship and after-school programs. In the 2014-2015 school year, 74 City Year AmeriCorps members will provide over
125,800 hours of service in eight schools across Jacksonville.
