Children who have completed our program are entering preschool and kindergarten with higher school readiness scores which will impact their academic success for years to come. Surveys and professional assessments of mothers completing classes report significant improvements in early literacy and language activities in the home, parenting skills, and knowledge of appropriate early childhood development. For low-income children (especially with second-language and mothers of low-educational level), intervening early is essential. Without the necessary birth-to-pre-K literacy and learning, children start down the slippery slope of non-achievement before they even have a chance. 221050 School Age - 150+ students (elementary, middle, and high school) attend our after-school tutoring, mentoring, summer day camp, and youth development programs. Our programs strengthen the critical academic and social skills these children are lacking as well as providing the real-world experience, positive adult support, motivation, and confidence necessary for success in school and life. Collier County Public School classroom teacher surveys and assessment data from the CCPS data warehouse have documented the academic improvement of these students and the positive impact they make in their schools. Student academic progress and achievement is monitored. Some of our first students are now successfully attending colleges. 30290 Family Literacy - 100+ adults are enrolled in one-on-one or small-group ELL classes (English speaking and literacy), enabling parents to achieve better employment, provide for their families needs, participate in their children's schools, and become contributing members of our community. In addition, moms and preschoolers are enrolled in our high-commitment "Mom & Tot English" classes and all of the families are encouraged to attend special monthly Family Literacy programs. Students are tested regularly to measure progress and track levels of achievement. Our Adult ESL students have also achieved educational, employment, and citizenship goals. 13823 Food Pantry - Over 600 families receive emergency groceries from our food pantry each week and we are able to refer families to needed agencies and services, providing for the needs of some of the most vulnerable families in our community. 13823 433235 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 38 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 11 11 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 0 FL X X X HOLLY BROWN 2395912289 897 Carrick Bend Circle 102 NAPLES FL 34110 Theodore Etzel III 2.00 X X 0 0 0 Patricia Carroll 2.00 X X 0 0 0 Phil Plessinger 2.00 X X 0 0 0 Trisha Hare 2.00 X X 0 0 0 Ronald Burger 2.00 X 0 0 0 Bill Hazzard 2.00 X 0 0 0 Jane McLaughlin 2.00 X 0 0 0 Beth Thompson 2.00 X 0 0 0 Molly Godley 2.00 X 0 0 0 Donna Cusack 2.00 X 0 0 0 Don Grandi 2.00 X 0 0 0 Stephanie Campbell 40.00 X 40217 0 50171 40217 0 50171 0 0 0 0 0 50000 112444 664848 20564 827292 9835 9835 22900 22900 22900 22900 860027 0 0 32735 88628 17726 35451 35451 243172 231911 9379 1882 10476 9991 404 81 18990 18111 732 147 17524 17524 9561 9561 24116 10710 3585 9821 56638 53806 2832 6312 6312 1755 702 351 702 24459 23225 1234 Program Supplies 58049 58049 Board Expenses 6562 6562 Staff Development 2992 2692 300 569234 433235 70391 65608 44414 421147 581592 437244 15313 15312 264770 95424 115262 169346 37175 30000 793756 1073049 14822 9664 26281 19939 41103 29603 X 532192 548986 220461 494460 752653 1043446 793756 1073049 X 0 1 1 X 0 X 339429 452466 661656 580388 827292 2861231 339429 452466 661656 580388 827292 2861231 2861231 6433 23343 31789 35146 32735 129446 700 700 2991377 5133 0.95650 0.95430 X RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED 182460 95424 87036 82310 82310 169346 860027 569234 290793 0 290793 860027 0 860027 0 860027 569234 0 569234 0 569234 Form 990, Part VI, Section B, line 11 The Executive Committee (Chair, Vice-Chair, Treas, Secty), Exec.
