City Year NH
seeks to prevent risky behaviors through mentoring, tutoring and
running out of school time programs for children before they
reach9th grade. CYNH also systematically involves
children in afterschool programs that incorporate community service
and service-learning projects. Combined with targeted tutoring and
whole class support, CYNH's program design allows members to
form relationships as positive, peer age role models with middle
school youth while leading them in education activities that
enhance their academic development, interest in their community,
and ability to make smart, informed and healthy choices about their
future.

This program is designed to address the need for additional
afterschool opportunities for NH youth, and also to meet the
critical need for better quality opportunities for youth in the
afterschool time. Data from Kid's Count 2001 suggests that
youth growing up in poverty are more likely to experience substance
abuse, early parenting and court involvement than their more
economically advantaged counterparts. Members will implement
programming to counter these trends through the promotion of youth
developmental assets, as identified by the Search Institute (2000).
Examples of these assets include engaging youth in daily homework
activities, helping youth develop skills to resist negative peer
pressure, and helping youth develop a positive view of their
personal future.
