We served 1,100 middle and high school students in Contra Costa and Alameda Counties with coaching in critical thinking and writing programs in public schools. The programs are geared toward improving students quality and effectiveness in written communication as well as researching, analyzing and drawing conclusions so they can communicate their opinions with thoughtfulness and conviction. 179 trained volunteer coaches worked in primarily a 2:1 ratio with the students providing individualized attention that educators know makes a huge difference in building skills as well as affording an adult mentorship relationship. Our coaches provided 2,550 hours of coaching to these students, who are predominantly from communities that have limited access to additional school enrichment programs. We also are now in partnership with the Oakland Boys and Girls Club Organization Youth of the Year program and have implemented an after-school writing improvement program where members (ages 14-17) learn through the lens of sports journalism. The program is known as the Oakland Press Box. 261344 true true 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 true 3 0 true 15 true false false false false false false false 0 false false false false false false false X 7 7 false false false false false false false true true false false true true true true true true true false false CA X LYNN GERBER 5105700454 958 PARK LANE PIEDMONT CA 94610 LYNN GERBER Executive Dir. 40.00 0.00 X X 57105 0 0 SOFIA CHRISTALES BOARD CHAIR 1.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 SUSAN NORTON BOARD MEMBER 0.25 0.00 X 0 0 0 BARBARA McCLUNG Secretary 0.50 0.00 X X 0 0 0 KEVIN CURRY Treasurer 1.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 BRITTANY DARWELL BOARD MEMBER 0.25 0.00 X 0 0 0 LONES STERN-BANKS BOARD MEMBER 0.25 0.00 X 0 0 0 57105 0 false false false 0 280004 280004 FEES FOR SERVICES 65965 65965 65965 17 17 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 345986 65965 17 0 0 0 0 67083 16770 16771 33542 0 266673 183815 4822 78036 0 7053 5596 221 1236 28195 16945 1824 9426 0 0 17908 17908 0 0 0 6797 2297 4500 1456 489 967 1542 466 1076 0 0 6901 3360 3541 0 0 0 0 0 0 24553 16059 8128 366 ONLINE SERVICES 11446 4578 4342 2526 Printing and Publications 4454 3936 518 SOCIAL MEDIA 4125 4125 PAYROLL FEES 2212 1354 130 728 2559 1554 993 12 452957 261344 64774 126839 149612 68462 215165 199161 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 3904 3904 0 0 0 0 0 2182 2182 366959 269805 1719 11536 1719 11536 X 365240 258269 365240 258269 366959 269805 -106971 X false false false X 297410 424249 389696 370095 280004 1761454 0 0 297410 424249 389696 370095 280004 1761454 657374 1104080 1 4858 22 22 17 4920 0 159313 159313 1925687 277870 0.57330 0.61000 X RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED 3904 3904 CREDIT CARDS 1555 DEFERRED SALARIES 9978 Rounding 3 11536 Form 990, Part VI, Section B, Line 11b No review was or will be conducted.
