We invested in updating our education platform and curriculum to adapt to the changes needed in schools due to the COVID-19 pandemic, brought on new partners and donors, and increased the number of Olympians, Paralympians, NCAA student-athletes, and professional athletes donating their services as mentors. A testament to improving organizational structure shone through this year in improved outcomes. Student performance metrics were the best and most detailed we've seen to date. Our research showed strong student increases in grit and growth mindset factors, engagement in school, interpersonal skills, and digital engagement. As we continue to ensure we are addressing all the needs of our stakeholders, a robust teacher planning and development program was created that yielded increases in teacher performance and engagement. Throughout the summer and on a monthly basis during the school year, over 15 online webinars were offered to professionally develop teachers across the organization. Athlete Mentor training was also improved and delivered as webinar and in-person training and monthly messaging to ensure quality video lesson creation. Athlete engagement was the highest we've seen to date and their amazing dedication was reflected in the quality of their lessons and in turn in student learning and outcomes. We saw entire communities captivated by Classroom Champions as we brought together parents, volunteers, and students. From Portland, OR to Philadelphia, PA to Maitland, FL and many places in between, mentors coming to town translated into thousands more students and family members being impacted. 3356122 true true false false false false false false false false true false false false true true true false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false true false false false false true false false false false true 21 0 true 15 true false false false false false false false false false false false false X 10 9 false true false false false false false true true false false false true true true true true true true false false false X X The Organization 8773751996 99 Jacobs Lane Norwell MA 02061 Christie Jacobs Treasurer 3.0 X X 0 0 0 Seth Rosenzweig President & CEO 30.0 30.0 X X 131154 0 0 Steve Mesler Chairman 10.0 X X 0 0 0 Andrew Rotherham Board Member 1.0 X 0 0 0 Christian Taylor Board Member 1.0 X 0 0 0 David Steele Board Member 1.0 X 0 0 0 Dr William Hite Board Member 1.0 X 0 0 0 Lex Gillette Board Member 1.0 X 0 0 0 Lisa Monarski Board Member 1.0 X 0 0 0 Michael Carmen Board Member 1.0 X 0 0 0 131154 0 0 1 false false false 0 159826 3519321 59769 3679147 School Program Contrac 900099 72107 72107 0 0 0 0 72107 730 730 0 0 0 0 Refunds 900099 11813 11813 0 0 0 0 11813 3763797 72107 0 12543 X 309660 154830 154830 1631479 1313708 21050 296721 11574 8756 1049 1769 189866 143640 17203 29023 7500 1500 4500 1500 58364 58364 1109486 1108958 0 528 269345 211134 58211 13978 7778 6200 182631 178763 3868 4563 4563 89439 89082 357 122647 107514 15133 6095 6095 20531 17451 1643 1437 Program Supplies 2350 2350 0 0 0 0 4029508 3356122 269064 404322 190782 462140 843886 647210 0 0 0 0 63788 60376 25053 20989 10159 4064 145811 106203 0 0 0 0 1254426 1279993 154503 246308 0 0 654312 894094 808815 1140402 445611 -305109 444700 445611 139591 1254426 1279993 -265711 -40309 0 X X false true true false X 577060 1411892 2416225 2682426 3679147 10766750 0 0 577060 1411892 2416225 2682426 3679147 10766750 2814329 7952421 950 730 1680 0 9135 38511 4978 10795 11813 75232 10843662 450033 0.73337 0.65509 X Schedule A, Part II, Line 10 Other Income DESCRIPTION - REFUNDS, COLUMN A - 9135.0, COLUMN B - 38511.0, COLUMN C - 4978.0, COLUMN D - 10795.0, COLUMN E - 11813.0, COLUMN F - 75232.0; RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED 25053 20989 4064 4064 Federal Income Taxes Due to CC Canada 894094 894094 X 5752528 -40309 2029040 0 1988731 3763797 0 0 3763797 6069059 2029040 10511 2039551 4029508 0 0 4029508 Schedule D, Part X, Line 2 FIN 48 (ASC 740) footnote The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires the Organization to report information regarding its exposure to various tax positions taken by the Organization.

We believe every child has the right to learn the process of excellence, yet many students in under-served communities face significant barriers to gaining these critical skills. Therefore we work hard to partner with teachers to instill qualities of excellence in students that will last the rest of their lives. We measure for improvements in key areas for students' future success including goal setting ability and perseverance, school engagement, digital literacy, and interpersonal skills; areas that lead to increased academic performance. In teachers, we measure job performance, job engagement, and digital literacy. In mentors, we measure communication skills, leadership skills, and digital literacy.

Form 990, Part VI, Line 15a Process to establish compensation of top management official The Board of Directors, or a designated Compensation or Governance Committee composed entirely of independent directors, is responsible for reviewing and approving compensation for the Chief Executive Officer (CEO). Before making any compensation decisions, the committee will review independent comparability data, which may include compensation surveys or benchmarking data from comparable nonprofit organizations. In addition to market data, the committee will consider the CEO's performance evaluation, the organization's financial condition and performance, the scope of responsibilities, experience, and the strategic leadership and impact of the role. The board committee will review all relevant comparability data, discuss performance and organizational context, determine the appropriate base salary and any incentive or bonus structure, and vote to approve the compensation. The individual whose compensation is under review will not participate in the deliberation or vote. The decision will be documented in the board meeting minutes. The Board will review executive compensation at least annually, typically in conjunction with the fiscal year planning cycle, performance review process, and budget approval. Once approved, the Board Chair communicates the CEO compensation decision to CFO, and Human Resources prepares the formal compensation documentation. All documentation supporting compensation decisions will be maintained in the organization's records, including comparability data reviewed, compensation reviews, and board or committee meeting minutes.
