A message from our leadership - Cincinnati Youth Collaborative

A message from our leadership:
O
ver the last 30 years, CYC, now united with Jobs For Cincinnati Graduates, has created a pathway
to success for Cincinnati’s most vulnerable youth. We’ve made a significant impact on the lives of
160,000 young people and as a result, on our community. By doing what we do best – bringing
together people and resources – we have set new benchmarks in 2012 that will enhance and even
increase our impact into the future.
From a position of strength, we merged with another well-respected local youth organization, Jobs For Cincinnati
Graduates (JCG), creating a larger organization with strategic benefits and value for the city of Cincinnati. The
merger improves efficiency of existing services, increases funding opportunities, encourages innovation and
provides expanded outreach for Cincinnati Youth.
The new CYC offers a complete range of services to our city’s children, so they are supported every step of
the way – from elementary school through college and career. As the regional leader for youth success, our
programs are critical to ensuring economic inclusion, education and workforce development for the Greater
Cincinnati community. With an expanded and refreshed commitment, we will continue to work alongside the
countless supporters, businesses, students, volunteers, parents and advisors who help our city’s youth succeed.
Thank you to all who make our work possible!
Sincerely,
Jane Keller
President & CEO
Kent Wellington
Chairman of the Board

What We Do
CYC empowers vulnerable children and young adults to graduate high school and succeed in high school, college,
career and life. CYC services provide key interventions - mentoring, dropout prevention, career and college readiness
plans and post-secondary transition and supports - with proven quantitative and qualitative results. CYC in- and outof-school programs work synergistically with school staff, volunteers, parents, and community partners to support
academic achievement.
Who We Serve
CYC primarily serves four Cincinnati area public school districts and one Archdiocese school: Cincinnati Public Schools
(CPS), Finneytown Local Schools, Winton Woods City Schools, North College Hill City Schools, and Purcell Marian
High School. CYC programs support 10 of CPS highest need high schools and more than 30 of its elementary schools
with a focus on the lowest performing.
The Services of CYC
One-to-one Mentoring - Matches an adult mentor with
a student in grades 2-12. This is a one-year commitment
with one hour weekly contact with students.
Group Mentoring - Allows a team of mentors to share
responsibility of meeting with a group of boys or girls
after school on a regular basis.
Tutoring - Places volunteers in a school with one student
or a group of students once a week. Tutors help students
improve academically in one or more subject areas.
Worksite Mentoring - Partners local businesses and
corporations with a group of students from one school.
Worksite mentors provide guidance at their place of
employment, in the school and out in the community.
Current worksite mentoring programs meet monthly and
focus on college access and career development.
Talent Search (TS) - Serves more than 1,100 CPS middle
and high school students. College advisors facilitate
college planning workshops, provide college counseling
sessions, arrange college visits and sponsor summer day
camps.
JCG High School to Career Program - Keeps 10th
through 12th grade students in high school and on the
path to graduation by teaching a year round, one credit
employability skill course using experiential-based
curriculum that combines classroom work with student
enrichment activities. Following high school completion,
this program includes a year follow up to ensure a
successful transition to a post-secondary experience job, military, training or college.
JCG Career Connections - Helps youth ages 16 to 21
who have dropped out of high school to reach future
goals through non-traditional education programs, as
well as connect students to supportive services in the
community.
2 | Cincinnati Youth Collaborative
Project REACH (Realizing Educational And Career
Hopes) - Serves juniors and seniors using a college
seminar and peer mentoring approach. College advisors
work closely with a group of students to facilitate college
access and success. Services include Free Application for
Federal Student Aid (FAFSA), ACT prep, college advising
and planning, college applications including essays,
scholarship searches, and campus visits.
JCG Foster Care Program - Targets in-school juniors
and seniors in custody of the Hamilton County Jobs
and Family Services to help them graduate from high
school with subsequent placement in a post-secondary
experience - job, military, training or college.
First Degree - Continues the support for students
moving from high school graduation through senior year
of college. Specifically geared towards first generation
college going students, the program offers a summer
transition component, success coaches, FAFSA and
scholarship renewal and application assistance, career
development to help find internships and co-op jobs, and
leadership development.
Community-Based College Resource Center - Provides
walk-in college planning assistance to the public at the
downtown Public Library of Cincinnati.
Partners in Education - Matches local businesses and
community organizations to Cincinnati schools to
provide one-on-one mentoring, tutoring, opportunities
for student internships, sponsoring school field trips

A
s a child, Jaliesha was shuffled
between foster homes and schools.
Education was not a priority, so
high school graduation and college
weren’t on her radar. After struggling through
middle school, she enrolled in a JCG elective
class at Winton Woods High School, a
decision she says turned her life around. The
JCG career specialist encouraged Jaliesha to
think about her future, so she raised her GPA.
She maintained perfect attendance and was
on the honor roll her senior year. “Growing up
in foster care, with so many people telling me
that I couldn’t do anything and that I’ll end
up like my parents, started to beat me down.
But my JCG career specialist believed in me
and helped me realize my full potential. I am
so thankful to her and the JCG program,” she
says. Jaliesha is now a freshman at Wright
State University studying criminal justice. She
received Wright State’s four-year foster care
scholarship and is adjusting to campus life.
She recently obtained an on-campus job in
the security department.

any students attending Cincinnati
Public Schools experience one or
more of the following risk factors that
can hinder their success: low income,
single parent family, poor and failing academic
records, incarcerated parent, homelessness,
transient residence, record of involvement with
the law or risky behavior/disciplinary problems.
Without a support system, these students find it
difficult and sometimes impossible to succeed
in school, let alone make it to college or find
a career. Nationwide, high school dropouts
from the Class of 2010 will cost more than $337
billion in lost wages over the course of their
lifetimes. 1 CYC creates a positive pathway to
success for these students, focused on guiding
them to graduation so that they can build a
productive life beyond high school.

D
ahnae is making her college dream a
reality. Like many of the students CYC
serves, Dahnae was the first in her
family to attend college. She had always
dreamed of going, but wasn’t sure how to make
that dream come true. During high school, she
became involved with Project REACH, CYC’s
college readiness program, and with the help
of Project REACH staff, she applied and was
accepted to Tennessee State University. At that
point, Dahnae transitioned from Project REACH
to CYC’s First Degree program. First Degree
advisors connect with students from their first
year of college through graduation, assisting with
everything from financial aid renewals and finding
campus resources to course selection – whatever
is needed to make sure the college experience
goes smoothly. Dahnae began college in the fall of
2011. She enjoyed college life and made many new
friends. But after just a few months, the admissions
office notified her that she owed additional tuition
fees because she was an out-of-state student.
Without the additional resources, Dahnae’s first
thought was to drop out of school, but with the
guidance of her First Degree advisors, Dahnae
was able to reach a better solution. “Although I
knew I had to move back home, it was not going to

stop me from continuing college,” shares Dahnae.
“My First Degree advisors helped me transfer to
Cincinnati State and made sure I was prepared for
the change.” Now a sophomore at Cincinnati State,
Dahnae wants to become a social worker. She
maintains exceptional grades while also working a
part-time job. She credits her ongoing success to
First Degree: “Without help from the First Degree
Program, I’m not sure where I would be today.”

ne in four students - about 1 million
every year - does not graduate high
school on time with their class. Nearly
50% of African-American, Hispanic and
Native American students (the majority of CYC
participants) fail to graduate. 2 The lack of a high
school diploma significantly jeopardizes a person’s
ability to compete in an already-tough job market,
and job and life challenges take a tremendous toll
on both the individual and the community. With
our city’s economic competitiveness at stake,
CYC will continue to play a vital role in ensuring
a quality workforce for Cincinnati. Partnering
with area businesses and organizations, CYC
offers opportunities for vulnerable youth to
explore college and career possibilities, engage
in worksite experiences, mentoring and job skills
training needed to propel themselves toward lifesustaining jobs.

students
M
yles was in 3rd grade at Fairview German Language Academy when he first heard about CYC’s
mentoring program. As the only child living at home, he thought having someone to spend time
with would be fun. Myles’s teacher recommended him to CYC. A short time later, Myles had a new
friend and mentor to call his own: Alex Reiner, a fourth year medical student at the University of
Cincinnati. Alex was willing to give it a try but had reservations about his ability to work with a child. “I felt
like I did not have enough world experience to be a great role model,” he says. All that changed when he met
Myles. The two hit it off instantly. Alex says, “It wasn’t that long ago that I was a kid. I think that helped me
understand where he is coming from.” Since that time, Myles and Alex have developed a strong friendship and
enjoy spending time together. Myles likes bowling and baseball - but the emphasis is always on academics.
Alex tutors Myles in science and math, which has helped Myles raise his grades. And Alex is learning from
Myles. He says, “I found that he had many things to teach me, and we both have been able to learn through
this experience. He reminds me of what it is like to see the world through the innocence of a child.” Myles’s
mom, Tracie, says that having Alex in her son’s life has made a huge impact on her and her son. She shares,
“When Alex calls to say he is coming, Myles just lights up. If he comes to the house Myles always wants to wait
on the porch for him. It’s like he cannot wait for him to get there. To me and Myles, Alex is God-sent.”

YC’s Partners in Education (PIE) pairs local
businesses with Cincinnati Public Schools.
PIE has grown to over 100 matches with
organizations contributing time and
recourses at all levels. Matches vary from school
to school, and can include financial support,
employee volunteers as tutors and mentors,
incentive programs, curriculum-based and career
exploration activities.
Volunteers from Truepoint Inc. in Blue Ash tutor
students at Silverton once a week. What started
with a few individuals wanting to help kids in
reading and math, has grown to nearly 20 regular
volunteers making a significant difference in young
lives. Shares Katrina Hartsel, Manager, Marketing &
Business Operations at Truepoint, “I am grateful to
be surrounded by a team who believes in helping
others. As a firm, Truepoint celebrates our next
generation by investing in opportunities which
expand their experiences, skills and knowledge.
Education is the most significant and lasting way
of empowering children and I am happy to be able

attitude or outlook problems, grades, low test
scores, failure to promote to the next grade level,
dropout risk and first generation high school
