b"City Year is a non-profit organization that aims to address educational inequality by providing targeted interventions and support to students in under-resourced schools across the United States. Their primary focus is on improving high school graduation rates and helping students develop the skills they need to succeed in college and beyond. I speak to Darryl Bundrige Senior Vice President & Executive Director, City Year Philadelphia and Wyneshia Foxworth who will be honored as 25th Anniversary Idealist of the Year, City Year Philadelphia at their Red Jacket Gala May 4th.

The cost of a college education is through the roof and there are also folks who just can't fit a classroom schedule into their day. That's where College together comes in providing an affordable, flexible option for those who thought college was out of reach. I speak to Founder and CEO of College Together, Oscar Wang.
