@michelleinbklyn You don’t seem to be on this channel much anymore and neither am I, but thank you for your thought provoking, devastating @nytopinion piece today on the attacks on Israel and “the need for a decent left” — one of the most insightful things I’ve read during this horrible time.

@AnitaBaffoni Good for you! Ignore the idiots and keep showing up as you are. Congratulations on having two kids!

Great essay! "What’s good for educators is good for students. Trust that educators know how to improve outcomes for their students, respect their expertise and agency, and honor their humanity." @CityYear #TheLearningPro https://t.co/pTDgGF791c via @LearningForward

.@CityYear @AmeriCorps have supported students’ learning for 15+ years. Today, their direct service in schools also guides equity-focused research, innovative teacher pathways, and policy work that promotes systems change.

[CityYear @CityYear]

While @AmeriCorps serving students in schools remains at the center of what we do, City Year has evolved, striving to create systems change through research, practice and policy. Learn more about our six areas of impact. https://t.co/mNSp0XTXEM

Students in Central Falls, RI got $10k to upgrade their high school. “When students perceive their perspectives to be heard and reflected in school policy decisions, it can have a positive impact on academic outcomes.” #studentvoice #edtalk https://t.co/nQIz4ubBZ9

Love concept of caring adults helping to ignite a student's "spark" by @SearchInstitute. Many orgs are dedicated to this idea, including @CityYear @AmeriCorps who serve as student success coaches & build #DevelopmentalRelationships with students.

Great to see service in action in honor of #MLKDay2023. Way to go @AmeriCorps, @CityYear, @CityYearWDC and @SecretaryPete!

[Secretary Pete Buttigieg @SecretaryPete]

It was a pleasure to join City Year and Americorps volunteers - and my administration colleagues - in service yesterday to support the students at Charles Hart Middle School.

[Jennifer D. Jordan @jdj12]

Incredible recognition of the dedication and effort of @CityYear's extraordinary @AmeriCorps members. Will be thinking of all youth advocates, educators, tutors, mentors, student success coaches and others who serve youth this Monday, on #MLKDay2023.

@CityYear Thank you for all that you do, CityYear. Your work truly matters. #MLKDay23Chat #MLKDay #MLKDay2023

@JolentaG I’m so sorry. My family and I haven’t forgotten folks with vulnerable immune systems or the very young or elderly who need & deserve our care and protection. Please know you are cared for by people you’ll never meet who don’t resent masking up and want you to stay safe, healthy!

Students need more social-emotional support. Schools need proven programs using recovery funds. @npss_success offers tutors, mentors, student success coaches, college guidance, & wraparound services like mental health. https://t.co/XpjUnTlesn
