NYC KIDS RISE IS A NONPROFIT ORGANIZATION WORKING TO EXPAND ECONOMIC OPPORTUNITY AND EQUITY BY PROVIDING FAMILIES, SCHOOLS, AND COMMUNITIES WITH A WAY TO WORK TOGETHER TO SAVE FOR THEIR CHILDREN'S EDUCATION. BUILDING ON THE DREAMS AND EXPECTATIONS THAT FAMILIES HAVE FOR THEIR CHILDREN'S FUTURES, NYC KIDS RISE AIMS TO MAKE ATTENDING AND GRADUATING FROM COLLEGE MORE ACHIEVABLE FOR ALL NYC PUBLIC SCHOOL STUDENTS--REGARDLESS OF WHERE THEY COME FROM OR HOW MUCH THEIR FAMILIES HAVE IN THE BANK. NYC KIDS RISE MANAGES THE SAVE FOR COLLEGE PROGRAM IN PARTNERSHIP WITH THE NYC DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION AND THE CITY OF NEW YORK.
IN FY 2019, NYC KIDS RISE ENROLLED ITS SECOND COHORT OF KINDERGARTNERS IN GEOGRAPHIC SCHOOL DISTRICT 30 IN THE NYC KIDS RISE SAVE FOR COLLEGE PROGRAM, INCREASING THE TOTAL NUMBER OF ENROLLED STUDENTS TO MORE THAN 6,400. THAT REPRESENTED 95% OF ALL ELIGIBLE KINDERGARTNERS AND FIRST-GRADERS. EACH OF THOSE STUDENTS RECEIVED AN NYC SCHOLARSHIP ACCOUNT (A SHADOW ACCOUNT WITHIN NY'S COLLEGE SAVINGS PROGRAM DIRECT PLAN). THIS YEAR, NYC KIDS RISE ALSO LAUNCHED COMMUNITY SCHOLARSHIPS, WHICH PROVIDE A WAY FOR LOCAL ORGANIZATIONS, BUSINESSES, AND COMMUNITY MEMBERS TO VISIBLY AND TANGIBLY SUPPORT THE EDUCATIONAL FUTURES OF CHILDREN IN THEIR COMMUNITY BY CONTRIBUTING TO GROUPS OF STUDENTS' NYC SCHOLARSHIP ACCOUNTS. DURING THIS FISCAL YEAR, NYC KIDS RISE DEPOSITED MORE THAN $760,000 INTO PARTICIPATING STUDENTS' NYC SCHOLARSHIP ACCOUNTS, INCLUDING APPROX. $325,000 IN COMMUNITY SCHOLARSHIPS FROM LOCAL AND CITYWIDE ORGANIZATIONS AND INDIVIDUALS. NYC KIDS RISE DEEPEND ITS PARTNERSHIPS WITH EACH OF THE 38 PARTICIPATING SCHOOLS, INCLUDING WORKING WITH THEM TO HOST 354 PARENT/GUARDIAN WORKSHOPS AND EVENTS, AND PROVIDING PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT TO MORE THAN 170 PARENT COORDINATORS, SECRETARIES, TEACHERS, AND OTHER SCHOOL STAFF. NYC KIDS RISE ALSO LAUNCHED A COMMUNITY-BASED ORGANIZATION PARTNERSHIP COLLABORATIVE WITH SIX ORGANIZATIONS THAT SERVE FAMILIES IN GEOGRAPHIC SCHOOL DISTRICT 30, SUPPORTING THOSE ORGANIZATIONS TO FURTHER ENGAGE FAMILIES IN THEIR COMMUNITY AROUND COLLEGE AND CAREER AND THE SAVE FOR COLLEGE PROGRAM AS PART OF THEIR PROGRAMMING AND SERVICES. FURTHER, NYC KIDS RISE CONTINUED TO ADVANCE SYSTEM CHANGES TO EXPAND ACCESS TO COLLEGE SAVINGS PRODUCTS FOR NYC'S DIVERSE LOW-INCOME FAMILIES, INCLUDING SUCCESSFULLY ADVOCATING FOR TRANSLATION OF NY 529 PLAN MATERIALS AND SERVICES INTO SPANISH.
