| Volunteers complete an online info form and attend an orientation/training (where they complete required registration forms) and are then placed at any of the following schools or sites based on their interests, availability and preferences. Click here to see where and when volunteers are needed. MILESTONES reached! The second week in October, the 500th volunteer attended a SUCCESS in the Middle orientation and the 100th volunteer submitted an online volunteer form. Since about 95% of those who attend a training do end up getting placed with students, and since volunteers meet with about two students each, some 1000 students have been supported so far.

Research from Johns Hopkins University has found that high-poverty 6th graders who failed English or math, whose attendance fell below 80% or who received an out-of-school suspension (or failing behavior grade) "had only a 10% to 20% chance of graduating on time," and fewer than one out of four graduated in five years... The majority of students’ off-track indicators appeared in 6th grade, and those who started falling off track then "had worse outcomes than students who did not begin to develop off-track indicators until at least the 7th grade." Read the full report here.
