“By leveraging the talent, energy and idealism of the next generation of entrepreneurs and citizen leaders, we can fight the dropout crisis in this country. Yet to have any real success, we have to know where, and how, to spend our limited resources. We believe fully in evaluating our work, focusing on results and using data and evidence to guide our investments toward programs that are proven successes.” –Michael Brown, CEO and Co-Founder, City Year December 20, 2013
