      Making the Grade at City Year

      City Year's Gillian Smith discusses how the nonprofit uses Net Promoter® to gauge its impact.

      By Rob Markey

      Making the Grade at City Year
      en

      Most recently, I talked to Gillian Smith, the chief marketing officer of City Year (see player above), the nonprofit that sends young people into urban schools to help struggling students succeed. City Year uses the Net Promoter System® to gauge its relationship with its key constituents, including members of its corps, donors and the schools and communities it serves. What might surprise many executives is that City Year faces many of the same Net Promoter challenges as Fortune 500 companies.
