The Inspire Foundations current programs reach over 5,000 students, young professionals, entrepreneurs, businesses, nonprofits, schools, and government agencies every year. Our community-driven organization provides all sectors and individuals an opportunity to grow and partner in the economic future of Salem. The Inspire Foundations programs currently include:Leadership Salem: In 1972 the first Leadership Salem class started, sponsored by the Salem Area Chamber of Commerce. Since then, over 934 community members have participated. Leadership Salem exposes participants to the Salem community for the purposes of preparing them to serve in volunteer leadership positions. Through ten full-day sessions, participants receive a comprehensive overview of Salems opportunities and complex issues. Leadership Youth (LY) nurtures and cultivates the hidden leadership qualities that exist in all youth within the Salem-Keizer communities. Patterned after Leadership Salem, LY began in 1999 and has served 639 students total and reaches many representatives from Salems undeserved populations (see above description). LYs success is due to its engaged community partners. The Salem Area Chamber of Commerces Executive Leadership Council (ELC), which consists of 90 community leaders, financially supports LY and invites youth to its quarterly meeting to provide public speaking and networking opportunities. In addition to the ELC, another 60 organizations invite LY to serve on their boards. This year we added 2 more program days in the second year in addition to their board service. On these additional program days students learn of board roles and responsibilities, Roberts rules of order, how to read and understand a profit and loss statement and balance sheet, have a fine dining experience while learning dining etiquette, and lastly hear from Leadership alumni about their success both personally and professionally.Salem Young Pros began in 2005, consists of over 900 members and is the main network in Salem for young people (20s and 30s) to connect with others, gain leadership and business skills, and connect with the larger Salem community. This program provides networking opportunities and a Leadership Development Series which covers issues like: professionalism, networking, entrepreneurship, time management, public speaking, meeting facilitation, and leadership. Based upon participant feedback we deleted the Leadership Development Series and replaced it with Lunch with Leaders. This program provides young professionals with a monthly/year round 90 minute interactive opportunity with a local leader in our community. It includes a Lunch, a tour determined by the Leader, presentation and exclusive networking time with the leader. We have had local leaders such as our school Superintendent Christy Perry and a tour McKay High School, the Salem Fire Chief and a tour of the fire house, Dick Withnell, owner of Withnell Motor Co. touring the Kroc Center. Dick is a leader whom was instrumental in our having the Salvation Army Kroc Center having a Salem Oregon location. Our Salem Mayor Chuck Bennett, and a tour of our City Council chambers and learning the testimonial process, CEO, Cheryl Nester- Wolfe of our local hospital Salem Health and a worksite tour and many other incredible leaders. Our Salem Young Pros also provide an event called the Great Salem Race. The race is similar in concept to The Amazing Race on television. Racers choose between a family division or a competitive division, they are a team of four and set out on foot to find 13 different clue locations throughout our city within a 3-5 mile radius. Each clue location has a challenge for each team that has to be completed before they receive their next clue. A great opportunity for Young professionals to connect with families and others in the community whom are not necessarily young pros. College and Career Readiness Workshop for Educators: This four-day intensive workshop for educators, counselors, and principals, broadens their understanding for preparing student for college by introducing them to various careers, resources and industries. The Inspire Foundation took on this important program in 2009 after it was eliminated from the Salem Keizer Education District's budget. This workshop serves 30 educators per year.College and Career Fairs: The Inspire Foundation offers two fairs each year reaching approximately 3,000 students and parents. The fairs provide students and their families with access to college and career information. The Inspire Foundation took on this important program in 2010 after it was eliminated from the Salem Keizer Education District's budget.Career Connections-On March 7th, we helped over 1,000 Salem-Keizer and surrounding area high school students(some 10th grade, but primarily 11th & 12th graders) practice their mock interview skills at Career Connections. Over 300 business volunteers shared their time and experience by providing each student with 3- mock interviews while helping them gain confidence, provide them positive resume critique and improve their professional skills. Starbucks shared with us that they hired 17 youth from the event! In addition to the mock interviews we had 30+ vendors who were there to share with students about local volunteer opportunities, summer internships, and employment opportunities(actual interviews for hiring). The CTE & Industry Summit, Sponsored by Maps Credit Union serves as a platform to promote interaction between Students, Educators, and Industry. In February 2017, the one day event was a local and by invite only. In 2018, the event will expand to a 3 day summit with an Oregon wide invite and in 2019 it expands to a 4 day summit with a national invite. Our 2018 event expanded to a statewide invite and brought over 500 attendees to Salem, Oregon. This year the Summit welcomed over 100 Career Technical educators, over 100 students in CTE programs, and an additional 100+ that included honored guests, administrators, faculty, counselors, advisors, state agencies, business, industry, sponsors, volunteers and community-based organization leaders. Our partners: Salem Area Chamber of Commerce, Keizer Chamber of Commerce, Salem Keizer Public Schools, Incite, Oregon Department of Education, & Chemeketa Community College. 227836 true false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false 0 0 true 0 false false false false false false false false false 0 false false false false false false false false false false X 9 8 false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false OR X KATHY MOORE 5035811466 1110 COMMERCIAL ST NE SALEM OR 97301 X NICK WILLIAMS Director 0.50 0.00 X 0 0 0 KATHY MOORE CEO 28.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 PATRICIA CALLIHAN-BOWMAN Past President 0.50 0.00 X X 0 0 0 SELMA PIERCE Secretary 0.50 0.00 X X 0 0 0 SHANE SAUNDERS Director 0.50 0.00 X 0 0 0 TAMARA MACK Director 0.50 0.00 X 0 0 0 RYAN COLLIER Treasurer 0.50 0.00 X X 0 0 0 SCOTT SADLER President 0.50 0.00 X X 0 0 0 JOHNATHAN CASTRO MONROY Director 0.50 0.00 X 0 0 0 0 false false false 0 6836 6836 COLLEGE & CAREER READINES 6935 6935 CTE & iNDUSTRY SUMMIT 103579 103579 EXECUTIVE LEADERSHIP 45649 45649 LEADERSHIP SALEM 42880 42880 YOUNG PROS 24469 24469 125 125 223637 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 230473 223637 X 0 0 0 0 0 0 71400 71400 0 0 14700 14700 0 0 925 925 0 0 0 0 424 424 2116 2116 0 0 0 1459 1459 0 0 0 0 0 0 CTE INDUSTRY SUMMIT 73127 73127 OPERATIONAL EXPENSES 18900 18900 LEADERSHIP SALEM 9740 9740 LEADERSHIP YOUTH 7650 7650 27395 27395 227836 227836 0 0 39209 24130 0 0 2845 10112 0 0 0 0 4000 4000 0 0 0 0 0 0 46054 38242 14604 1655 2500 14604 4155 X 31450 34087 31450 34087 46054 38242 2637 X false false false X 158649 142695 167053 192690 229149 890236 0 0 0 0 158649 142695 167053 192690 229149 890236 0 0 890236 0 0 0 0 158649 142695 167053 192690 229149 890236 1.00000 0.00000 X Form 990, Part VI, Line 11b: Form 990 Review Process No review was or will be conducted.
