BoysGrow literally broke ground in the Spring of 2010 and is a year round farming and business program supporting the youth by providing valuable personal and business tools while cultivating and selling our products. The program is volunteer supported and staff guided, but youth driven. The Program strives, with staff guidance and direction, for the boys to take pride in their crops and products to ensure the success of the program. This will, in return, create self-pride, identity, and belonging, not only for the youth to the concept of the BoysGrow name but to himself and his fellow workers and the positive and successful environment they have created. The young men who work for BoysGrow do everything associated with running a farm and small business, from planting seeds and growing produce, to meeting with local restaurants to sell their products. Each BoysGrow class is required to create a product that will be sold in local grocery stores. The products will include farm grown ingredients and the youth create, market, distribute and sell their chosen product. The young men are compensated for their work on the farm. With their first job comes the expectation to come to work on time, in uniform and be held accountable for their work ethic. During 2024, Boys Grow continued to successfully provide an abundance of opportunities and experiences for 95 youth through our immediate program and an additional 55 youth with our school partnerships. The youth received classroom instruction and hands on activities around all aspects of running an organic farming operation, from composting techniques to soil maintenance. The youth also received hands on lessons in product development, direct public sales, culinary skills, and personal mentorship from staff and volunteers. Furthermore, the youth are taught healthy living, nutrition and healthy lifestyles. In 2024 our 5,000 square foot greenhouse was completed. 0 0 0 515949 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 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 4 0 1 75 1 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 X 9 8 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 1 1 1 0 1 0 1 1 0 X Micheal McEnany 8166743995 1001 Main Street Kansas City MO 64106 John Gordon Jr Executive Director 40 0 X 101766 0 2600 Ryan Murdock Board President 1 0 X X 0 0 0 Michael McEnany Secretary 0.5 0 X X 0 0 0 Brooke Tippen Treasurer 0.5 0 X X 0 0 0 Carlos Gomez Board Member 0.5 0 X 0 0 0 Mark Allen Board Member 0.5 0 X 0 0 0 Tony Van Trece Board Member 0.5 0 X 0 0 0 Enrique Chi Board Member 0.5 0 X 0 0 0 Beth Gerstenberger Board Member 0.5 0 X 0 0 0 101766 0 2600 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 55712 0 0 674959 0 730671 School Partnership 900099 33190 33190 0 0 33190 1732 0 0 1732 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 10564 55712 36173 -25609 0 -25609 26534 8189 18345 18345 0 0 0 758329 51535 0 -23877 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 106966 74876 0 32090 0 0 0 0 249476 215486 33990 0 0 0 0 0 9627 298 9329 0 27428 22387 2567 2474 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 10353 0 10353 0 0 0 0 0 41130 41130 0 0 0 0 10733 2867 7866 0 4749 170 4568 11 11927 767 11160 0 6572 1324 5248 0 0 0 0 0 27254 22229 5025 0 14368 14041 327 0 0 0 0 0 1501 333 1168 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 48886 34220 14666 0 43466 40469 2467 530 Farm Operations 72535 67710 4741 84 Capital Campaign Culinary 18772 18772 0 0 146 0 146 0 705889 515949 113621 76319 583251 177642 0 251219 0 0 13090 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 15667 18588 1937869 332381 1387541 1605488 12868 18113 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 2012417 2071050 15965 21803 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 15965 21803 X 1783452 2009247 213000 40000 1996452 2049247 2012417 2071050 X 52440 40 0 0 317 -2 X 0 0 0 X 322354 475329 625971 625313 730671 2779638 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 322354 475329 625971 625313 730671 2779638 859795 1919843 0 292 267 98 1732 2389 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 2 0 0 0 2 2782029 152183 0.69009 0.82571 X Schedule A, Part II, Line 10 2021: Misc US Treasury deposit.
