Background: In partnership with Milwaukee Public Schools, City Year works with selected schools to implement City Year's research-based "Whole School, Whole Child" service model (WSWC). Contractor recruits prepare and lead diverse AmeriCorps members ages 17 to 24 years for ten months of full-time service in schools as near-peer tutors, mentors, and role models to help students stay on track for graduation. Corps members work in eight (8) MPS schools to serve in conjunction with school staff and members of the school community to help improve student attendance, behavior, and coursework through academic support, attendance monitoring and incentives: positive behavior support, extended day programming and school-wide programs and events.

In partnership with MPS, City Year continues to deliver services agreed upon with school partners to support the following outcomes that research proves are indicators of increased likelihood of high school graduation: "Improved student attendance. Improved positive student behavior." City Year works with the following schools: Alexander Mitchell School, Bay View High School, Rogers Street Academy, South Division High School, Hopkins Lloyd Community School, G.W. Carver Academy, Obama High School, Clarke Street School, James Madison Academic High School, Pulaski High School, and Vincent High School.
