Organizations Filed Purposes:
LEGAL OUTREACH'S MISSION IS TO CHANGE THE EDUCATIONAL TRAJECTORY OF STUDENTS FROM UNDERSERVED COMMUNITIES IN NEW YORK CITY BY USING INTENSIVE LEGAL AND EDUCATIONAL PROGRAMS AS TOOLS FOR FOSTERING VISION, DEVELOPING ACADEMIC SKILLS, AND ENHANCING CONFIDENCE AS WE FACILITATE THE PURSUIT OF HIGHER EDUCATION AND PROFESSIONAL CAREERS.
IN 2018-2019 LEGAL OUTREACH SERVED 381 MIDDLE SCHOOL AND HIGH SCHOOL STUDENTS. EACH YEAR, PHILLIBER RESEARCH ASSOCIATES CONDUCTS AN EXTENSIVE EVALUATION OF THE COLLEGE BOUND PROGRAM BY EVALUATING OUR STUDENTS ACCORDING TO SEVERAL INDICATORS OF SUCCESS. AMONG THE MOST RELEVANT FOR MEASURING THE EFFECTIVENESS OF THE COLLEGE BOUND PROGRAM ARE THE FOLLOWING: A) YEARLY STUDENT RETENTION (90.7% IN 2018-19); B) FOUR-YEAR STUDENT RETENTION (69% FOR THE CLASS OF 2019); C) HIGH SCHOOL GRADUATION RATE (100% FOR CLASS OF 2019); D) COLLEGE MATRICULATION RATE (100% FOR THE CLASS OF 2019); AND E) STUDENTS' PERCEPTIONS OF THE USEFULNESS OF LEGAL OUTREACH IN THEIR LIVES. WITH REGARD TO PERCEPTIONS OF THE USEFULNESS OF THE PROGRAM, STUDENTS PROVIDED THE FOLLOWING AVERAGE RATINGS ON A SCALE OF 1 TO 10, WITH 10 AS THE HIGHEST: (1) PREPARING TO COMPETE AT THE COLLEGIATE LEVEL (8.8), (2) KEEPING ON TRACK TO COLLEGE (8.6), (3) IMPROVING ACADEMIC SKILLS (8.1), (4) DOING WELL IN SCHOOL (7.9). EACH OF THESE RATINGS IS WELL ABOVE OUR PROJECTION OF 7.0. ACCORDING TO THE REPORT, NEARLY ALL OF THE STUDENTS SERVED CAME FROM MINORITY GROUPS AND 88% RECEIVED FREE OR REDUCED-PRICE LUNCH AT SCHOOL.
