Cooperative Development. The purpose of the cooperative development program is to grow the SMCEC and accomplish the mission of the organization by growing cooperative education and community-centered development through worker-owned businesses. Program accomplishments include creating educational resources for businesses transitioning to employee ownership, direct employee ownership programming with workers, and members of the public, and founding the Alabama Center for Employee Ownership another 501c3 nonprofit to perform employee ownership outreach and education in Alabama and create a pipeline of interested businesses in employee ownership transition. SMCECs cooperative development team implemented employee ownership curriculum at two businesses and performed employee ownership outreach and education to over six events to an estimate of over 200 hundred people. In order to accomplish this work, the board contracted a returning Lamplight staff member who was available to move to Alabama for a year. 23100 Lamplight Summer Camp Session Two. This session was the standard three week session of Lamplight which SMCEC has run since 2019 in Guntersville, AL. This session was in July and was open to younger returning campers and new campers. The session served 15 campers, with three returning and 12 new. Many youth in our service areas lack structured activities in the summer and school year due to institutional deficits, economic limitations, transportation issues, or parental commitments. Lamplight addresses these needs by offering enriching summer experiences that foster civic engagement, leadership skills, and a sense of community, while also covering basic needs such as childcare, food, and transportation free of charge. 23339 Lamplight Summer Camp Session One. Lamplight Summer Camp is a free, immersive summer program designed to cultivate leadership among teenagers through self-governance and community service projects. Due to the age and experience gap in returning campers and new campers this year, Lamplight staff created a June session of camp, which was approved by the board. The goal of this session was to enroll all returning campers who were nearing adulthood and tailor programming to develop their ability to analyze, care for, and transform the community around them. The program served nine returning campers over a two week period, with camp running Monday through Friday from 9am-5pm and 9am-9pm on Fridays. On top of providing community-centered cooperative education to campers, Lamplight provided lunch and dinner to all campers, transportation to over half of the campers, and childcare to families. 10104 56543 Kieran Kudva Driskell Member 2.00 0 0 0 Bassem ElBendary Secretary 1.00 0 0 0 Daniel Marshall Board Chair 10.00 0 0 0 Julia Machlin Member 2.00 0 0 0 Kevin Burns Treasurer 2.00 0 0 0 Caroline Kanner Member. 1.00 0 0 0 Ari Dubow Member 1.00 0 0 0 Annie Livingston Member 0.00 0 0 0 Joseph Fridman Member 1.00 0 0 0 false false false false false 0 false false false false AL Kevin Burns 1306 17th Ave S Birmingham AL 35205 6129917088 false false false false false false false false false false false false NONE 0 NONE 0 true X 0 0 0 0 24425 6564 18597 35899 75399 160884 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 24425 6564 18597 35899 75399 160884 15876 4595 12088 14630 23800 70989 0 0 0 0 0 0 15876 4595 12088 14630 23800 70989 89895 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 24425 6564 18597 35899 75399 160884 X 0.55880 0.00000 0.00000 0.00000 RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED Part I, Line 16 Other Expenses total $37,869.
