About this organization
Mission
Legal Outreach prepares youth from underserved communities in NYC to compete at high academic levels, using intensive legal and educational programs to foster vision, develop skills, and facilitate the pursuit of higher education. We use legal programs as a catalyst to inspire young people to pursue academic excellence, but our main goal is to equip them with strong academic skills. Using professional exposure activities to draw in applicants, we identify promising 8th graders from underserved communities in NYC and immerse them in a rigorous, four-year regimen of academic instruction and support, known as 'College Bound.' Meeting after school, on weekends, and during the summers, our College Bound program gives each student more than 2,300 hours of additional college prep and guidance.
About
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.
