Support for Adult and Youth Organizing in New York City
[Information, download]
[Information, download]
The Institute aims to support urban communities in their struggle for school improvement. We believe that urban public schools fail when communities are disenfranchised and economically and socially marginalized. We therefore help strengthen the power, leadership, and vision of neighborhood-based institutions to hold all levels of school systems accountable for educating students well.
What We Do
The Institute provides policy research, educational data analysis, training, facilitation, coordination, support for strategy development, and logistical support for parent and community groups in New York City to help them develop neighborhood-based collaboratives with sufficient power to improve the quality of education in low-performing school districts.
New York City Coalition for Educational Justice
Institute staff provide coordination and support for a citywide coalition, the New York City Coalition for Educational Justice (CEJ), which consists of three parent- and community-led collaboratives.

Educational Data and Analysis
We translate administrative data into forms usable by community organizers and researchers. Drawing on publicly available educational data, we work with community-based organizations to examine local school conditions and define reform priorities, articulate research questions, conduct statistical analyses and identify appropriate presentation formats based on the data.

Urban Youth Collaborative and Student Union
The Institute coordinates and provides research to support the Urban Youth Collaborative (UYC), and the UYC Student Union. In 2006, UYC invited 16 youth organizations to form a network, the UYC Student Union, to improve high school quality and increase youth leadership.
