ISSUE<br />
According to Education Week, one-third <strong>of</strong> all<br />
dropouts are lost in ninth grade because they<br />
do not receive adequate support or guidance<br />
during the transition to high school. Locally, the<br />
graduation rate at <strong>Toledo</strong> Public Schools is 63<br />
percent. We know this is unsustainable for our<br />
community. When graduation rates improve,<br />
crime decreases <strong>and</strong> financial stability, healthy<br />
behaviors, <strong>and</strong> economic opportunity improves.<br />

SOLUTION<br />
<strong>United</strong> <strong>Way</strong> AmeriCorps members<br />
are serving as Graduation Coaches,<br />
providing one-on-one support to <strong>and</strong><br />
interventions for kids who face risk<br />
factors for not graduating. These trained<br />
Coaches serve students in eighth <strong>and</strong><br />
ninth grade, helping them through<br />
the transition to high school – one<br />
<strong>of</strong> the last critical tipping points.<br />

AmeriCorps, Lourdes University, Ohio Commission on Service <strong>and</strong> Volunteerism, <strong>Toledo</strong> Public Schools, <strong>United</strong> <strong>Way</strong><br />
OUTCOME<br />
35 coaches are serving 501<br />
students in <strong>Toledo</strong> Public Schools.<br />
Though this is the first year <strong>of</strong><br />
implementation, we’re already<br />
seeing great results like as <strong>of</strong><br />
March 2012, 49 percent <strong>of</strong> all<br />
students served have increased<br />
attendance by 50 percent.
