Participants reported reading 21,953 books throughout 33 weeks of programming (a 52% increase from the previous year, with no significant change in service numbers). All programming was executed in service of TSC's mission to nurture each Spitfire's love of reading, love of self, and love for girls across all communities. Due to the success of the small group mentor pilot in 2022, TSC adopted a strategic plan in 2023 that mandates integrating mentorship into the flagship after school program. To this end, eight volunteer mentors collectively provided 60 hours of mentorship to after school Spitfire Club participants in 2023. TSC will continue to incrementally expand the mentor program throughout all after school clubs. 1495 0 0 In partnership with a local public library, TSC licensed Spitfire Club curriculum and loaned class sets of books and necessary materials for librarians to build their own Spitfire Clubs that are free and open to the public. This program was offered free of cost to the library or participants. This program was facilitated by the library's Children's Services Librarian and two youth volunteers, who delivered 18 weeks of Spitfire Club programming to over 40 participants. Iterating upon lessons learned from each term of programming, the Spitfire Club developed and tested three units of programming that can be licensed to other interested agencies in the future. 0 0 0 108647 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 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 2 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 X 6 6 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 0 0 CA DC KY MD MN RI VA X X X Supporting Strategies 5712529942 1727 King Street Suite 300 Alexandria VA 22306 Amanda Hazelwood Executive Director (Ex Officio) 40 0 X 5746 0 0 Dr Saunji D Fyffe Chair 3 0 X X 0 0 0 Kelly Griffin Vice Chair 3 0 X X 0 0 0 Marcus Stewart Treasurer 3 0 X X 0 0 0 Misty Leigh Dameron Secretary 2 0 X X 0 0 0 Lorraine Rios Beauchamp Director 1 0 X 0 0 0 Danielle Robinson Director 1 0 X 0 0 0 5746 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 44532 57154 0 101686 0 464 0 464 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 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 102150 0 464 0 X 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 5746 5746 72042 72042 0 0 4054 4054 5801 5801 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 2400 0 2400 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 3319 3319 0 0 452 0 94 358 3534 0 3334 200 1053 1053 13350 13350 199 199 2227 1614 613 3146 3146 22933 15872 6175 886 140256 108647 30165 1444 35739 15909 50989 49165 105835 91095 0 0 0 0 0 -1712 0 0 0 0 0 192563 154457 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 X 11437 122848 181126 31609 192563 154457 192563 154457 -38106 0 0 0 0 0 X 0 0 0 X 16369 36351 26994 212867 101686 394267 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 16369 36351 26994 212867 101686 394267 178183 216084 0 0 0 67 464 531 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 394798 0 0.54733 0.4314 X RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED Form 990, Part VI, Section B, Line 11b The Spitfire Club's Executive Director completed the 990 with oversight and counsel from the organization's Treasurer.
