EMKC hires full-time salaried teacher-mentors (TMs) who represent the community being served. This builds an easy bridge of communication and trust. EMKC teaches and mentors approximately 250 students (grades 4-12) in the Center School District. By introducing students to positive and caring adults, students gain positive role models, no longer navigating life's toughest challenges alone. This relationship-based, application-infused model helps students grow holistically as they develop personal and relational responsibilities, strengthen their character, positively engage in their community, and experience school success. EMKC provides in-school and out-of-school mentoring to our students in four program areas. In School Accredited classes: The TMs teach accredited elective classes in character, leadership, and essential skills. Out of School Mentoring: The TMs spend half their time in the classroom and the other half outside the classroom mentoring the students; helping process their challenges and celebrate their victories while encouraging them to grow intellectually, socially, emotionally, spiritually, financially, vocationally, and physically. Adventure Activities: EMKC high school students participate in adventure activities offered regularly where they grow through challenges. Examples include zip lining, a trip to a local lake for fishing and boating, hiking, ice-skating, and mountain biking. College and Career: TMs work with students to build a post-high school plan and then track with the students for up to two years after high school, assisting and encouraging them as needed. All EMKC high school students classes and mentoring work on college and career pursuits. EMKC differs from other educational and youth development nonprofits in that it combines in-school teaching with out-of-school mentoring. This connection to both aspects of a student's day increases their capacity for academic and life success. EMKC's goal is that our students find employment with a stable career, have a healthy family system later in life, and be a part of forward change in their community by equipping youth like they were equipped in school. 0 0 0 294709 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 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 4 0 1 6 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 X 12 11 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 0 X X Chris Jehle 9132040320 4801 Liberty Street Kansas City MO 64112 Christopher Jehle Executive Director 40 0 X 95137 0 11937 David Larrabee Chair 15 0 X X 0 0 0 Rob Merrill Vice Chair 2 0 X X 0 0 0 Mary Schrock Treasurer 2 0 X X 0 0 0 Denise Quatman Secretary 2 0 X X 0 0 0 Donna Crosswhite Director 2 0 X 0 0 0 Leonard Davis Director 2 0 X 0 0 0 Hank Hershey Director 2 0 X 0 0 0 Jacqueline O'Brien Director 2 0 X 0 0 0 Carrie Robson Director 2 0 X 0 0 0 David Shewmaker Director 2 0 X 0 0 0 David Stubblefield Director 2 0 X 0 0 0 95137 0 11937 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 555580 0 555580 0 0 0 0 0 2690 0 0 2690 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 10072 0 9925 0 147 0 147 0 0 147 0 22 22 0 0 22 558439 22 0 2837 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 68992 24147 20698 24147 0 0 0 0 251337 203388 25520 22429 0 0 0 0 15034 10159 2394 2481 25204 17943 4056 3205 0 0 0 0 850 0 850 0 49126 0 49126 0 0 0 0 0 7885 7885 0 0 0 0 7775 7350 425 0 0 0 0 0 37768 7605 29329 834 61 0 61 0 0 0 0 0 800 0 800 0 13958 7464 6250 244 0 0 0 0 10439 6095 4344 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 10558 10558 0 0 17599 0 17599 0 0 0 0 0 517386 294709 161452 61225 336195 290398 168407 261935 51933 57500 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 5577 3811 52790 37230 26118 15560 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 588230 629204 16316 16211 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 16316 16211 X 554317 555493 17597 57500 571914 612993 588230 629204 X 41053 0 0 0 26 0 X 0 1 X 0 0 X 243651 402422 636005 370372 555580 2208030 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 243651 402422 636005 370372 555580 2208030 334990 1873040 0 0 659 540 2690 3889 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 2390 26 22 2438 2214357 0 X Schedule A, Part II, Line 10 Refund of expense paid in prior year.

The Organization recognizes the financial statement benefits of a tax position only after determining that the relevant tax authority would more likely than not sustain the position following an audit. For tax positions meeting the more-than-likely-than-not threshold, the amount recognized in the financial statements is the largest benefit that has a greater then 50% likelihood of being realized upon ultimate settlement with the relevant tax authority. The Organization is subject to income tax regulations in the U.S. federal jurisdiction and certain state jurisdictions. Tax regulations within each jurisdiction are subject to the interpretation of the related tax laws and regulations and require significant judgements to apply. With few exemptions, the Organization is no longer subject to income tax examinations by the applicable tax authorities for the years before 2020. If any were to be incurred, the Organization's policy is to record penalties and interest assessed by income tax authorities as operating expense. Schedule D, Part XI, Line 4b Rounding.
