These programs include an afterschool academic enrichment program, the EXPO Center Youth Orchestra, summer camperships, the Learn-to-Swim Program, a senior fitness program, and the Summer Youth Job Corps. false false 640361 Program funding and leadership were provided for youth sports and recreation, afterschool academic support and enrichment activities, an acclaimed youth orchestra with 310 children ages 6-18 who receive free instruments and musical instruction and the opportunity to perform at concerts (a partnership program with the LA Philharmonic Association and Harmony Project), summer camperships for children whose families cannot afford to send them to EXPO Center's summer camp, a summer jobs program for at-risk teens, dance and exercise program for seniors, and a learn-to-swim program that provides life-saving water safety training for 4,000 children each year. Thanks to the successful partnership between The Friends of EXPO Center and the City of Los Angeles Department of Recreation and Parks which operates EXPO Center, this extraordinary recreational and community center has become a vital resource for the underserved and economically disadvantaged residents of south Los Angeles. The EXPO Center facility spans six acres adjacent to the LA Coliseum and it accommodates more than 800,000 participant visits annually, making it the largest public recreational and community center in the region. The neighborhoods surrounding EXPO Center suffer from high unemployment, overcrowded housing, chronic poverty, gangs and street violence. EXPO Center is an oasis in this community, providing wide-ranging opportunities for recreation, education, and healthy lifestyles. 640361 true true false false false false false false false false true false false false false false 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 true 6 0 true 6 true false false false false false false false false 0 false false false false false false false false false false X 32 32 false false false false false false false true true false false true true true true false false false false false CA X Pamela R Ross 8182228581 22739 Federalist Road Calabasas CA 91302 STEVE SOBOROFF Chairman 5.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 TERRY L FEIT Treasurer 1.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 F PATRICK ESCOBAR Secretary 5.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 BETTY ANDERSON Director 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 JOHN M ARGUE Director 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 ERIC BRIGHT Director 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 STEPHEN C CALHOUN Director 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 LYN DESANTIS Director 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 HENRY BRANDON Director 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 JON S GIBBY Director 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 CECILIA AGUILERA GLASSMAN Director 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 MARCIELA GOMEZ Director 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 DONOVAN GREEN Director 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 AMY HILL Director 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 JIM HILL Director 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 JOANNE JORDAN Director 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 SHELBY JORDAN Director 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 ALLEN J LYNCH Director 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 DEANE LEAVENWORTH Director 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 MIKE SHULL Director 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 CURREN D PRICE JR Director 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 EARL C PAYSINGER Director 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 STEFAN POLLACK Director 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 DAVID ROBERTS Director 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 DENNIS RODRIGUEZ Director 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 JEFFREY N RUDOLPH Director 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 MARTHA SAUCEDO Director 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 ANDREW SHULESCHENKO Director 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 ARTURO SNEIDER Director 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 ED SIMMONS Director 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 STENDER E SWEENEY Director 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 MICHAEL O'DONNELL Director 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 STEPHANIE WELLS Executive Dir. 40.00 0.00 X 123590 0 0 123590 1 false false false 0 24200 561807 586007 0 24698 24698 0 0 0 99993 101297 -1304 -1304 -1304 0 0 0 0 609401 23394 0 0 0 0 123590 86513 6179 30898 0 160350 116350 30800 13200 0 9197 5831 2026 1340 22640 16175 2949 3516 0 31673 31673 50746 38060 12686 0 0 0 0 0 9558 6788 1243 1527 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 2394 1700 311 383 17640 8820 8820 CAMP SCHOLARSHIPS 100000 100000 SUMMER YOUTH JOBS 76621 76621 AFTER SCHOOL ENRICHMENT 58760 58760 SWIM PROGRAM 40000 40000 57384 53070 1686 2628 760553 640361 66700 53492 154564 104400 190423 145480 61500 107300 0 0 0 0 0 5193 6597 35905 5187 33112 30718 807831 742164 0 0 0 0 1252623 1136659 44677 68866 44677 68866 X 1146446 901948 61500 165845 1207946 1067793 1252623 1136659 -151152 10999 X false true X true false X 731429 846600 2633963 673733 586007 5471732 0 0 731429 846600 2633963 673733 586007 5471732 683892 4787840 9294 13994 27705 30023 23394 104410 0 0 5576142 0.85860 0.86480 X RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED 35905 5187 30718 30718 620400 10999 10999 609401 609401 760553 760553 760553 Form 990, Part VI, Line 11b: Form 990 Review Process THE FORM 990 IS FIRST REVIEWED BY THE AUDIT COMMITTEE, THEN DISTRIBUTED TO THE ENTIRE BOARD OF DIRECTORS FOR THEIR APPROVAL BEFORE IT IS FILED.
