The IRS classified the organization as one that is not a private foundation within the meaning of section 509(a) of the Code because it is an organization described in section(s) 509(a)(1) and 170(b)(1)(A)(vi).LATM has adopted Financial Accounting Standards Board Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) Section 740-10, which clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes. ASC Section 740-10 prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. ASC Section 740-10 requires that an organization recognize in the financial statements the impact of the tax position if that position will more likely than not be sustained on audit, based on the technical merits of the position.

Management reviews the return before filing. Management then provides a copy to the full Board after filing. Form 990, Part VI, Section B, Line 12c On a yearly basis, board members are asked to list any affiliations with other entities that might potentially affect their independent decision-making. Throughout the year any actual or potential conflicts of interest are brought forth by board members to the Executive Committee, who reviews the disclosures and determine if a conflict exists and whether it is material. If a conflict is found to exist, the person with the conflict is asked to rescue him/herself from any voting on related matters.

Form 990, Part III, Line 1, Organization's Mission - Continued Los Angeles Team Mentorings (LATM) mission is to guide middle school students growing up in challenging urban environments to recognize and reach their full potential. Through a unique team-based approach to mentoring, young adolescents are given the tools and support necessary to make positive choices during a critical period in their lives.LATM was founded in response to the 1992 LA Riots, launching a team-based mentoring program (TeamWorks) just 3 miles from the epicenter. Its team-based model was a new concept in mentoring (group mentoring) developed by the Princeton Center for Leadership that was instituted to train and encourage that leadership in youth, the benefits of which have long been helping to modify the effects of gang activity, violence, poverty, and high dropout rates. They gain skills including self efficacy, confidence, and improved social behaviors that set them up for future success. In 2020, we developed a virtual mentoring program (e-Works) to reach isolated students who needed an avenue for forming meaningful connections.LATM provides services to Title-I middle schools and has impacted over 32,000 young lives through 3 million hours of service by 10,000 volunteer mentors. LATM serves an "at-risk" population, meaning that they're of lower socio-economic means and at high risk of academic failure, absenteeism, and/or delinquent behavior. Approximately 95% of our mentees live in low-income households where its members do not have a college or high school education. 97% are BIPOC students.LATM provides free youth mentoring services, benefiting hundreds of at-risk mentees (ages 11-14) from LAUSD middle schools in LA County and 6 independent schools of virtual study. In the e-Works (virtual) and TeamWorks (in-person) youth mentoring programs, we connect them with a team of 2 3 volunteer mentors, 10 12 peers, and 1 experienced staff member. e-Works operates through a safe online platform and serves middle school-aged youth anywhere in LA County. Both core programs follow an activity-rich, progressive learning curriculum designed to support their social emotional development. In addition to weekly mentoring, youth attend skills based field trips led by our corporate partners on select Saturdays. These events allow our mentees to discover opportunities that lie beyond their neighborhood and strengthen the bond between peers and mentors. Form 990, Part III, Line 4a, Program Service Accomplishmen - Continued LATMs programs include: College Experience a college preparation field trip led by a local university, UCLA; students tour the campus, learn about the admissions process/financial aid, and discuss the benefits of higher education. This is particularly meaningful for those that will be first-generation college students. Career Exploration career readiness field trips/workshops led by trusted partners; students learn about the various career paths available within that industry and how they might pursue it. This year, ARUP, an international architect and engineering firm, led a virtual tour and delivered an age-appropriate engineering presentation. Aerospace also held a virtual STEM-based workshop wherein participants learned about NASAs new efforts to simulate life on planet Mars all while learning from industry experts. Financial Literacy Workshop- financial literacy is the key to success for youth living under the poverty line and for this reason, LATM works with various financial institutions to host financial literacy workshops for mentees and parents. This year, LATM worked with Premier America Bank to facilitate a workshop on, resiliency through money management. Tutoring Program- in addition to building students social-emotional learning skills, LATM is now targeting mentees academic performance by piloting its first ever tutoring program. College students/tutors recruited from local colleges in LA and San Diego, focus on improving mentees Math and English skills. Expansion- in an effort to replicate LATMs impact in the Los Angeles area, and funded by the Office of Juvenile Justice and Delinquency (OJJDP), the e-Works program is now being offered to San Diego Unified. The E-Works program has been uniquely implemented in two Title I funded middle schools. To determine the impact of our youth mentoring programs, LATM contracted ERC who has 20+ years of experience providing evaluation services for K-12 school districts, county offices of education, community-based organizations, etc. In comparison with their peers, ERC found that LATM mentees: (a) achieved a mean GPA that was .4 points higher; (b) scored 34 points higher in math and 26 points higher in English on the CAASPP exam; and (c) sustained a higher rate of on-time grade promotion from 8th to 12th grade. A longitudinal study also found that LATM mentees were graduating high school at a 22% higher rate 4 years after they've left our care! The data showed no significant statistical variation when looking at factors like race/ethnicity, gender, or service area indicating that youth were benefiting in an equitable and consistent manner. LATM is laying a critical foundation that will help youth fulfill their potential and dream bigger than they thought possible. Furthermore, survey data from e-Works participants showed that they experienced personal growth in a variety of social-emotional competencies, with 93% reporting improved communication skills and 90% reporting increased feelings of connection with peers. In focus groups, mentees reported improvements in classroom engagement, saying they were more likely to speak in class, participate in group projects, and ask their teacher for help when needed because of their mentoring experience. They also achieved a higher rate of on-time grade promotion than the comparison group (i.e., successfully transitioning from 8th grade to 9th grade), demonstrated increased participation in mentoring sessions, and had high rates of retention. Students involved in LATMs programming demonstrate increased self esteem, cooperation, and school engagement all critical factors in helping them stay on track to graduate in a college-ready capacity.Total program expenses: $870,468 Total revenue: $15,000
