Right here in Boston, City Year AmeriCorps members help thousands of students get back on
track toward academic success.
Kevin* is one of those students. He goes to the Condon K-7 School, and last year he worked
with City Year AmeriCorps member Heather. As a 5th grader, Kevin struggled with
comprehension and was at a 3rd grade reading level. Over the course of the school year,
Heather provided him with individualized support and study tips, reinforcing the instruction of
her partner teacher, Mrs. Troy.
With Heather’s encouragement, Kevin built up his self-confidence, a trait all students need to
succeed inside and outside of the classroom. And by the time summer arrived, Kevin had
improved three reading levels and was ready to enter 6th grade.
Condon Principal Robert Chisholm shared why he believes City Year is so important.

ones this holiday season!
