Our target population consists of young adults from foster care situations, young adults who have been incarcerated, and those who are at risk of systems involvement. We offer career navigation, construction skills training, and job placement services. We assist our clients with a wide range of needs, including housing, food needs, communications, and transportation. false false 269594 0 179863 There are four facets to our programs and services, which are designed to help the young adults we serve access quality employment as quickly as possible. We primarily serve three demographic groups: youth from foster care, justice involved youth, and youth at risk of systems involvement. There is a great deal of overlap between those groups. For example, 25% of individuals in prison were involved in foster care at one time. The services we offer can be summarized in four categories. Career Navigation helps young adults identify career interests, establish goals, identify and address barriers to employment, and improve their employability. We assist clients with job searches, resume preparation, interview prep, and locating potential employers. Vocational Training opens doors to jobs that may otherwise have been inaccessible. We offer a nationally recognized certificate program from the Home Builders Institute (HBI: PACT). This pre-apprenticeship program provides a foundation to students interested in working in many construction trades. Post Employment Support is necessary for many of our clients as they may lack traditional support systems. We stay in contact with our students for as long as they choose, and work with employers to support our clients. We provide financial support for up to one year after employment, and help them navigate job losses when they occur. Supportive services include addressing common barriers to employment, including obtaining vital documents, getting a phone, finding health and housing resources, mentoring, and help with other basic needs. 269594 true true false false false false false false 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 true 4 0 true 10 true false false false false false false false false false false false false X 5 5 false false false false false false false true false false false true false false false true false false CO X Stephen Hayes 7196611759 1250 Venhorst Rd Colorado Springs CO 80920 X Charles Mingonet Chairman 15.0 X X 0 0 0 Chris Hagan Secretary 1.0 X X 0 0 0 Stephen Hayes Treasurer 10.0 X X 0 0 0 Jacqueline Jaramillo Member 1.0 X 0 0 0 Nicole Carter Member 1.0 X 0 0 0 James C Hunter Executive Director 40.0 X 79420 0 0 79420 0 0 0 false false false 0 10000 191108 201108 Tuition and Fees 611710 179863 179863 0 0 0 0 179863 1855 1855 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 382826 179863 0 1855 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 79421 56315 11553 11553 152311 136694 12833 2784 18937 15707 2106 1124 19970 16614 2089 1267 3414 3414 1800 1800 13381 9194 115 4072 2238 1119 1119 23919 16964 6370 585 3892 3892 16415 8200 5800 2415 847 635 212 909 909 10450 8152 2298 0 0 0 0 347904 269594 51591 26719 111131 120766 71835 45788 25894 0 0 2456 3944 0 0 0 0 0 -16711 0 142664 222439 -1345 12523 100 0 18584 50000 17239 62623 X 125425 159816 125425 159816 142664 222439 34922 0 0 0 -531 0 X false false false X 129485 89466 9826 74670 201108 504555 286307 92184 73089 227015 179863 858458 0 0 0 415792 181650 82915 301685 380971 1363013 13500 0 200 2810 3082 19592 0 0 0 0 0 0 13500 0 200 2810 3082 19592 1343421 3114 388 72 24 1855 5453 0 3114 388 72 24 1855 5453 0 0 88 497 0 0 585 418906 182126 83484 301709 382826 1369051 0.9813 0.9929 0 0.0 X Schedule A, Part III The organization is a public charity under section 509(a)(2) and completes Schedule A (Form 990), Part III.
