Through our Food Justice programming, Building Audacity works to increase food sovereignty. We do this by sharing local fresh food resources, providing nutrition courses on how to use food grown on New England Farms, and offering an AgTech pathway that includes a hydroponic center, makerspace, and paid to earn AgTech opportunities. 4 4 39 175 0 0 1885323 1709672 0 5000 0 0 0 0 1885323 1714672 0 0 0 936592 1091478 732 0 0 947300 299500 1884624 1390978 699 323694 446000 319000 371000 418000 75000 -99000 X Founded in 2019, Building Audacity is a nonprofit organization that creates STEM-focused pathways and provides supporting resources within the agriculture field otherwise not available to Black and other youth of color. Through our Food Justice programming, Building Audacity works to increase food sovereignty. Food sovereignty is a food system in which the people who produce, distribute, and consume food also control the mechanisms and policies of food production and distribution. We do this by sharing local fresh food resources, providing nutrition courses on how to use food grown on New England Farms, and offering an AgTech pathway that includes a hydroponic center, makerspace, and paid to earn AgTech opportunities. true true 613000 613506 Taste Health provides a paid learning opportunity for young adults ages 16-24 to hydroponically grow and distribute produce as well as other locally sourced produce and products to the most vulnerable households in the Greater Boston area. Said households are led by seniors who are guardians of school aged children, families who have differently abled family members, and families who live in areas with poor accessibility to public transportation. Specifically, food grown is distributed via our Saturday market and a door to door volunteer based delivery system to families in Boston and Lynn, MA. Of our accomplishments, we have launched workforce development pathways in agricultural engineering. Specifically, our Greater Boston programming has resulted in 200 youth being trained in hydroponic engineering, 160,000 lbs of produce being distributed to 2,000 food insecure families, the creation of a STEM focused makerspace, and a 7,000 sq ft hydroponic farm. Within five years, Building Audacity has grown from a $24,000 budget to a $1mil organization and 175 volunteers. Our long term goal is to deepen our STEM focused work by opening a youth run cafe with a hydroponically grown plant based menu. The cafe will employ our youth ages 16-24 and sell hydroponically grown produce. 989108 903769 Jean Charles Academy (JCA), an accessible, private school based in Lynn, operated for three school years following approval from the Lynn School Committee May 2021. Housed within Building Audacity, JCA was designed to meet the needs of students of color by building a racially equitable curriculum and school culture within an inclusive dual language educational program. The school began with 40 students in grades Pre K-7, and at its peak served 90 students in grades PreK-9th. The mission of Jean Charles Academy is to promote biliteracy, bilingualism, and biculturalism for students. The school will prioritize students of color by providing an interdisciplinary and dual language education that will prepare students for the 21st century through an emphasis on holistic learning and critical thinking skills in STEM fields. 1602108 true false false false false false false false false false true 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 false false 1568 39 true 39 true false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false 0 0 0 0 false 0 false 0 0 false false false false false X 4 4 false false false false false false false true true false false true true true true true true true false false MA X Intuit 8004468848 2700 Coast Avenue Mountain View CA 94043 Angela Tennison Board Member 2.00 X 0 0 0 Nakia Navarro CEO/Founder 40.00 X 90000 0 0 Sheryl Seller Board Member 2.00 X 0 0 0 Corey Yarbrough Board Member 2.00 X 0 0 0 90000 0 0 0 true false false 0 0 500 3000 0 505200 1200972 50000 1709672 5000 5000 0 0 5000 0 0 0 0 0 0 1714672 5000 0 0 0 0 928720 928720 10000 10000 152758 152758 9000 9000 60000 60000 2000 2000 40000 40000 9000 9000 168000 168000 3000 3000 2500 2500 6000 6000 1390978 1390978 0 0 100000 6000 0 0 308000 275000 40000 2000 38000 38000 446000 319000 0 0 0 0 346000 313000 0 80000 25000 25000 371000 418000 0 0 371000 418000 X 0 0 75000 -99000 75000 -99000 446000 319000 323694 X false X true X true true true X 0 0 0 0 0 0 1424386 1883788 1625381 4933555 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1424386 1883788 1625381 4933555 4933555 4933555 1.00000 0.00000 X X 208000 208000 30000 30000 238000 false false false false false false Part III, Line 2 We took out a construction loan of $200,000 to build out a space.
