Camp Compass is designed to prevent summer learning loss and improve reading and math skills. The overarching purpose is to reduce the achievement gap that exists between low-income students and their higher-income peers by bringing students up to grade level academically. Camp Compass is a hybrid between a summer school and a camp. On one hand, Camp Compass is an academic intervention where licensed teachers instruct the students three hours per day, five days per week, for the six weeks of camp. In addition, Camp Compass incorporates enrichment activities and field trips for a fun camp-like environment. These enrichment experiences address the opportunity gap in addition to the academic achievement gap. Transportation to and from the program, breakfast, lunch, and an afternoon snack, and weekend food are provided. 255819 Club Compass is a weekly program for low-income, underserved, elementary students in Springfield Public Schools - District 186. Club Compass pairs volunteer mentors with the students and teaches them social-emotional and life skills in a safe, structured, positive environment. Club Compass is currently serving students from five schools: Black Hawk, Dubois, Graham, Harvard Park, and McClernand. Club Compass has a volunteer driven, community based model. Each school Club Compass serves is paired with two or more community partners, which host the Club Compass site for their neighborhood school. Each Club Compass site has the same major components: snack, an evidence-based social-emotional curriculum lesson, academic time, Life Skills classes, and a healthy, family-style dinner. Club Compass is free to participating students. All students are selected and referred by their school. 19301 Camp Care-A-Lot is a free, overnight residential camp for low-income elementary students from throughout Central Illinois. For 27 years, Camp Care-A-Lot has been helping low-income children realize a future beyond anything they could have imagined.

Over its history, Camp Care-A-Lot has provided many weeks full of educational, social and recreational activities to prepare children for a brighter life. Children leave camp believing they can be successful no matter where they come from. 16781 Youth Leadership Develpment Program 16781 1079649 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 4 0 162 1 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 0 0 X 15 15 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 0 IL X X Molly Berendt 2176918103 501 S 4th Street Springfield IL 62701 Christina Crites President 2.00 X X 0 0 0 Michael Blitstein Vice President 1.00 X X 0 0 0 Ray Zinnen Secretary 1.00 X X 0 0 0 Jim Sullivan Treasurer 1.00 X X 0 0 0 Dr Tanya DeSanto Director 1.00 X 0 0 0 Katelyn Hall Director 1.00 X 0 0 0 Vern Lindquist Director 1.00 X 0 0 0 Andrew Olson Director 1.00 X 0 0 0 Lakeisha Purchase Director 1.00 X 0 0 0 Diane Hillard-Sembell Director 1.00 X 0 0 0 Brittani Hopper Director 1.00 X 0 0 0 April Miles Director 1.00 X 0 0 0 Diane Rutledge Director 1.00 X 0 0 0 Donna Smylie Director 1.00 X 0 0 0 Drew Thomason Director 1.00 X 0 0 0 Molly Berendt Executive Director 40.00 X 97516 0 0 97516 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 5500 46579 561162 207786 613241 Camp Compass 624100 889342 889342 889342 3830 3830 16895 46579 9942 6953 6953 7871 0 7871 7871 Miscellaneous Income 900099 5469 5469 5469 1526706 889342 0 24123 97516 73137 24379 819796 600364 143942 75490 24220 21090 3130 76700 63448 13252 25351 22055 3296 4544 1846 2523 175 11177 7812 3316 49 26454 13279 10479 2696 5955 3748 2207 20233 8893 6582 4758 210 210 31545 24524 7021 36521 31408 5113 Program Supplies 199223 197011 1221 991 Staff & Volunteer Appre 10629 10312 317 Program Evaluation 512 512 1390586 1079649 226778 84159 556349 623990 401286 461493 16280 42089 2386 1197 0 20054 976301 1148823 37119 84659 25601 14463 62720 99122 X 618118 769059 295463 280642 913581 1049701 976301 1148823 136120 0 X 0 1 X 1 0 X 467641 928208 1048725 1201955 1502583 5149112 264040 12900 510430 517932 1305302 467641 1192248 1061625 1712385 2020515 6454414 0 0 0 6454414 1722 3319 1959 1195 3830 12025 1722 3319 1959 1195 3830 12025 13561 22226 24547 30235 90569 469363 1209128 1085810 1738127 2054580 6557008 0.98440 0.97220 0.00180 0.00160 X RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED 0 X 3225754 1689106 9942 1699048 1526706 0 1526706 3089634 1689106 9942 1699048 1390586 0 1390586 Part X, Line 2: The organization is exempt from federal and state income taxes under Section 501(c)3 of the Internal Revenue Code and is not classified as a private foundation by the Internal Revenue Service.
