This $25,000 gift funds 250 hours of counseling for 14-22 year olds, an age group which is highly vulnerable and essential for the future health of our community. Skyward Bound provides clinical therapy to help under-resourced teens and young adults navigate the effects of poverty, which has a lasting impact. This target population has experienced trauma from a young age, including domestic violence, emotional and physical abuse, and impeded cultural identity. The most common struggles are major depression, anxiety, post-traumatic stress and adjustment disorder. All these issues impact a person's motivation, self-esteem, cognitive ability to focus and increase one's stress level. Some of the teens receiving services through Skyward Bound additionally participate in group activities that build trust and life skills and create joy. Skyward Bound provides desperately needed mental health services without waiting months, and the service is in the student's first language. 0 0 0 31500 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 0 X 6 6 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 0 1 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 IL X X Kerry Miller 6302788807 3 WAYNE LN HAWTHORN WOODS IL 60047 X Larry Butz President & Director 5 0 X X 0 0 0 Bob Noonan Chairman & Director 1 0 X X 0 0 0 Kerry Miller Treasurer & Director 4 0 X X 0 0 0 Susan Stoga Secretary & Director 2.5 0 X X 0 0 0 Brandon Verwijst Director 1 0 X X 0 0 0 Monica Thigpen Director 1 0 X X 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 199728 0 0 217522 0 417250 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 56111 199728 45381 10730 0 10730 0 427980 0 0 10730 31500 31500 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 10241 0 10241 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1033 0 484 549 1362 1362 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 203 0 203 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 572 0 572 0 0 0 0 0 44911 31500 12862 549 0 183069 0 200000 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 383069 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 X 0 383069 0 0 0 383069 0 383069 383069 0 0 0 0 0 X 1 X 0 1 0 X 417250 417250 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 417250 417250 262701 154549 0 0 417250 56111 X Schedule A, Part I, Line 7 We are an organization that normally receives a substantial part of its support from the general public described in section 170(b)(1)(A)(vi).
