Through paid internships, participants engage in hands-on projects that build leadership, communication, and critical thinking skills while promoting positive alternatives to youth violence. Activities include designing community gardens, producing public art such as murals and quilts, organizing civic events, and leading field trips to cultural, educational, and historic institutions across Ohio. By blending STEAM-based learning with community engagement, COITWI provides students with real-world experiences that enhance their mental capacity, address insecurities, and prepare them for higher education and the workforce, while also generating measurable cost savings to the community by reducing risks associated with youth incarceration. Summer Adventure Camp: The Rickenbacker Woods Foundation's Summer Adventure Camp serves elementary and middle school youth with a focus on STEAM exploration, literacy, and social-emotional learning. The camp operates daily over the summer months, providing participants with structured activities such as science experiments, art projects, reading enrichment, and physical fitness. Field trips to museums, parks, and cultural sites further broaden students' horizons, while guest instructors introduce innovative programs in areas like digital animation, robotics, and storytelling. The camp also emphasizes inclusion, offering a safe and welcoming environment for children of all abilities, including those with autism and ADHD, who are often excluded from other programs. With daily meals provided and a strong emphasis on creativity, teamwork, and confidence-building, the Summer Adventure Camp enriches young lives while strengthening families and the wider community. 0 0 0 286389 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 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 1 8 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 X 4 4 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 X X Michael Aaron 6144273201 1330 E Livingston Avenue Columbus OH 43205 Michael Aaron President 40 0 X X X 50720 0 0 Nicole Makeda Treasurer 2 0 X X 0 0 0 Brain Scarpino Secretary 2 0 X X 0 0 0 Doreen Uhas Sauer Vice president 2 0 X X 0 0 0 Carol Beckerie Trustee 2 0 X X 0 0 0 50720 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 100000 216129 0 316129 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 779 779 0 0 779 316908 779 0 0 X 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 50720 45648 5072 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 25000 22500 2500 0 17789 16010 1779 0 1505 1354 151 0 1638 1474 164 0 967 870 97 0 0 0 0 0 205 185 20 0 11532 10379 1153 0 680 612 68 0 2830 2547 283 0 Bank Service Charges 901 811 90 0 Miscellaneous Expense 3136 2822 314 0 Memberships & Subscriptions 4439 3996 443 0 177181 177181 0 0 298523 286389 12134 0 31390 24877 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 2303 2831 25050 680 24370 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 33693 52078 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 X 33693 52078 0 0 33693 52078 33693 52078 18385 0 0 0 0 0 X 0 0 0 X 35917 44294 79559 195880 316129 671779 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 35917 44294 79559 195880 316129 671779 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 671779 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 690 352 9594 6087 779 17502 36607 44646 89153 201967 316908 689281 0.97461 0.95681 0 0 X Schedule A, Part III, Line 12 Community Program: Market Place Vendor Fees RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 25050 680 24370 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 24370 Form 990, Part VI, Section B, Line 11b The 990 is completed and submitted to Executive Director for approval and distribution to the Board of Trustees Form 990, Part VI, Section C, Line 19 This information is provided to the public upon request Form 990, Part IX, Line 11g Program Counselors Form 990, Part IX, Line 24e Direct Programming Expense: Program Supplies, Program Meals, Field Trips, etc. The organization filed and Extension as more time was needed to compile accurate financial statements
