Through our programs, we create opportunities for personal growth while fostering emotional and psychological resilience, empathy, leadership, and a spirit of giving back.?Our flagship location in Los Alamitos, California, serves as the heart of our community-focused programs. We partner with local schools, organizations, and families to build an environment where young people can thrive, forge meaningful connections, and develop lifelong skills. As we continue to grow, we are proud to contribute to the vibrant Southern California area by supporting teensand their families. January 2024 marked the real kick-off of The BOLO Project as a non-profit organization. The purpose of this program is to develop confident, resilient, purpose-driven teens through an innovative approach that utilizes the power of the dog-human bond to facilitate learning. Given the alarming statistics showing a 150% increase in reported stress, anxiety, and depression among teens plus a surge in teen suicides, social isolation, and tech addiction, The BOLO Project aims to give teens access to life-changing skills not taught in traditional school settings. Through the ALPHA framework, students learn success principles and growth mindset strategies, financial literacy, leadership, and mechanisms to manage stress, anxiety, and overwhelm, while connecting them through a philantrhopic project to benefit another non-profit organization in their communities.I am pleased to report we had an extraordinary impact on our first group of students during the launch pilot. In the summer of 2024, we served a group of 12 students. In the fall of 2024, we served a small group of 5 students. In both instances, we received reports of significant growth and changes. Each week, the students discussed massive takeaways and shared how they were implementing the content into their daily lives with results. Students were gaining confidence by watching things happen as they set and accomplished a sepcific goal during the course. Students quickly reported a shift in how they were looking at the world and their situations and began to feel less anxious as a result. The students also reported a tremendous gain in their knowledge in financial literacy and even began an intentional saving practice. All the students felt tremendous pride in their project accomplishments, raising $2,700 and $2,200 for their selectd non-profit organizations.Parents reported noticeable improvement in their children's behavior, engagement in conversations and family activities, and their overall moods and outlooks. We received rave reviews from the parents.Lastly, we now have students volunteering for the upcoming summer program to benefit new students going through the program. 17777 17777 Gila Kurtz President 15.00 0 Joon Han Treasurer 1.00 0 Phil Black Secretary 1.00 0 false false false false false false false 0 0 0 false 0 0 false Joon Han 4341 Ironwood Ave Seal Beach CA 90740 5622435118 false false false false false false false false false false false NONE NONE true X 55771 55771 10190 10190 0 0 0 65961 65961 0 0 65961 0 0 0 0 65961 65961 X 0.00000 0.00000 RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED Other Expenses.1 Program Costs $8548 Other Expenses.2 Information Technology $4233 Other Expenses.3 Service Projects $3806 Other Expenses.4 Legal and Professional Fees $3736 Other Expenses.5 Marketing $3416 Other Expenses.6 Travel $1771 Other Expenses.7 Meals $573 Other Expenses.8 Board Expenses $144 Other Expenses.9 Office Expenses $56 Other Expenses.10 Bank Fees $9 Other Expenses.11 Taxes & Licenses $6 Total Liabilities.1 - Beginning $2274 - Ending $0
