AFJ EMPOWERS PARTICIPANTS WITH A PATH TO SUCCESS THROUGH COURT ADVOCACY AND HIRE UP PROGRAM SERVICES, INCLUDING JOB READINESS TRAINING, CERTIFICATION COURSES, INTERNSHIPS AND EMPLOYMENT PLACEMENTS, EDUCATIONAL SUPPORT, AND MENTAL HEALTH WELLNESS CARE. 0 0 1842674 287461 AFJ SERVES 650+ JUSTICE-INVOLVED AND AT-RISK YOUNG PEOPLE ANNUALLY FROM 48 NYC COUNCIL DISTRICTS. COURT ADVOCATES DEVELOP INDIVIDUAL ACTION PLANS (IAPS) WITH EVERY PARTICIPANT, INTEGRATING WORKFORCE DEVELOPMENT, EDUCATION SUPPORT, MENTAL-HEALTH WELLNESS, TEEN EMPOWERMENT SESSIONS, AND VIOLENCE-PREVENTION PROGRAMMING. ON AVERAGE, 94% OF COURT-INVOLVED PARTICIPANTS ARE NOT RECONVICTED WITHIN THREE YEARS OF ENROLLMENT. AFJ OPERATES FROM COMMUNITY CENTERS IN THE LOWER EAST SIDE AND HARLEM AND OUR HEADQUARTERS IN THE MANHATTAN CRIMINAL COURT. BEING ROOTED IN THESE NEIGHBORHOODS ENSURES DEEP TRUST AND ACCESSIBILITY FOR YOUNG PEOPLE DISPROPORTIONATELY AFFECTED BY VIOLENCE AND OVER-POLICING. 511258 IN 2025, AFJ SAW STRONG OUTCOMES: OF THE CASES THAT HAD COURT OUTCOMES DURING 2025, 54% WERE ADJOURNED1 AND 28% WERE DISMISSED. LESS THAN 3% OF SUCH OUTCOMES RESULTED IN INCARCERATING A PARTICIPANT. IN 2025, 257 COURT-INVOLVED PARTICIPANTS EXITED THE PROGRAM; 251 COMPLETED THE PROGRAM, WITH 206 ACHIEVING BOTH COURT-MANDATED AND AFJ-ESTABLISHED GOALSOUR PROGRAM IS EFFECTIVE AND EFFICIENT. AFJ'S LONG-TERM RECIDIVISM DATA SHOWS THAT ONLY 6% OF PARTICIPANTS ARE RECONVICTED WITHIN THREE YEARS OF ENROLLING, COMPARED TO 42% OF NYC PAROLEES IN A COMPARABLE STUDY. AMONG SUCCESSFUL GRADUATES, OVER SIX YEARS, ONLY 14% OF PARTICIPANTS WERE RECONVICTED, WITH MOST OF THESE CONVICTIONS BEING FOR MISDEMEANORS. OPERATING RIKERS COSTS NYC TAXPAYERS APPROXIMATELY $500,000 PER INCARCERATED PERSON PER YEAR. IT ONLY COSTS AFJ $8,900 TO PUT ONE YOUNG PERSON THROUGH A FULL YEAR OF OUR WRAPAROUND SERVICES WHICH LEAD TO EMPLOYMENT, ACADEMIC SUCCESS, AND LONG-TERM STABILITY.AFJ'S EVALUATION APPROACH EXTENDS BEYOND SHORT-TERM OUTPUTS TO LONG-TERM OUTCOMES. BY MAINTAINING RELATIONSHIPS WITH PARTICIPANTS AFTER PROGRAM COMPLETION, AFJ TRACKS CONTINUED EMPLOYMENT, EDUCATIONALADVANCEMENT, AND OVERALL STABILITY. THESE LONGITUDINAL OUTCOMES ARE CRITICAL INDICATORS OF SUCCESS FOR JUSTICE IMPACTED YOUTH NAVIGATING BARRIERS TO EMPLOYMENT. IN 2025, AFJ CONTINUED TO COLLECT PARTICIPANT SATISFACTION SURVEYS TO ASSESS THE IMPACT OF THE PROGRAM SERVICES BEYOND RECIDIVISM AND TO OBTAIN PARTICIPANT FEEDBACK ABOUT THE QUALITY OF SERVICE. RESPONDENTS REPORTED THAT AFJ HAD IMPROVED THEIR DECISION-MAKING, GIVEN THEM HOPE, AND HELPED THEM RESIST PEER PRESSURE.WHILE DATA INFORMS OUR STRATEGIC DECISIONS, AFJ BELIEVES THAT IMPACT MUST BE MEASURED IN BOTH NUMBERS AND NARRATIVES. WE REGULARLY SHARE PARTICIPANT STORIES TO HIGHLIGHT HOW, WITH THE RIGHT SUPPORT, YOUNG PEOPLE FACING SIGNIFICANT BARRIERS CAN THRIVE. SUCCESS IS WHEN A PARTICIPANT SATISFIES THE COURT'S REQUIREMENTS AND RECEIVES A FAVORABLE DISPOSITION OF THEIR CASE. SUCCESS IS WHEN OUR PARTICIPANTS COMPLETE THE HIRE UP PROGRAM, GRADUATE FROM SCHOOL, GO ON TO FURTHER EDUCATION, AND/OR ENTER GAINFUL EMPLOYMENT. SUCCESS IS WHEN WE ADDRESS THE NEEDS OF OUR PARTICIPANTS AS A WHOLE, RECOGNIZING THAT PERSONAL GROWTH, COMMUNITY CONNECTION, AND LONG-TERM STABILITY ARE JUST AS CRITICAL AS STATISTICAL OUTCOMES. 2353932 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 1 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 21 0 1 16 1 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 X 9 9 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 0 NY X X DAVID MOSLEY 2123496381 100 CENTRE STREET SUITE 1541 NEW YORK NY 100134308 ALANNA C RUTHERFORD CHAIR 1.00 X X 0 0 0 DEAN H SCHAFFER VICE-CHAIR 1.00 X X 0 0 0 RICHARD C TREPP TREASURER 1.00 X X 0 0 0 LAURA SWEENEY SECRETARY 1.00 X X 0 0 0 BERNIE HUDDLESTUN BOARD MEMBER 1.00 X 0 0 0 REBECCA LEWINSON BOARD MEMBER 1.00 X 0 0 0 ERNEST MORALES III BOARD MEMBER 1.00 X 0 0 0 DANIELLE O'BANNON BOARD MEMBER 1.00 X 0 0 0 ALLEN ROTHMAN BOARD MEMBER 1.00 X 0 0 0 MARC DE SWAAN ARONS BOARD MEMBER (LEFT 2025) 1.00 X 0 0 0 CHARLES RADCLIFFE BOARD MEMBER (LEFT 2025) 1.00 X 0 0 0 SUZY A REINGOLD BOARD MEMBER (LEFT 2025) 1.00 X 0 0 0 ELIZABETH FREDERICK EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR 50.00 X 164610 0 42990 GAMAL WILLIS CHIEF PROGRAM OFFICER 50.00 X 112907 0 5534 277517 0 48524 2 0 1 0 0 166485 330094 1660357 2156936 129084 129084 572927 567554 5373 5373 5373 139170 166485 139170 0 2291393 0 0 134457 287461 287461 207600 197220 10380 964120 898127 6751 59242 19379 18027 73 1279 212490 197919 1425 13146 85620 79990 1136 4494 86500 86500 10927 10927 251948 68750 123967 59231 68409 68409 32540 24898 4452 3190 70514 63463 7051 131987 105887 26100 7779 5499 2280 56099 50489 5610 81293 77228 4065 CLASSES AND PROGRAMS 172352 172352 REPAIRS AND MAINTAENANC 95399 95399 POSTAGE AND PRINTING 11838 9875 1588 375 MISCELLANEOUS 2038 1348 690 2856293 2353932 204215 298146 448028 435140 1038648 334832 839758 690287 65061 75785 944714 814091 124969 130623 2683530 3015706 308051 237683 5508045 4920056 96591 102649 299717 232333 396308 334982 X 4844237 4195074 267500 390000 5111737 4585074 5508045 4920056 -564900 38237 0 X 0 1 X 1 0 X 2107846 2108734 3391539 3783927 2156936 13548982 2107846 2108734 3391539 3783927 2156936 13548982 2556010 10992972 21353 26697 56668 145933 129084 379735 15704 15704 13944421 0.78830 0.81460 X RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED 20000 20000 301211 296726 4485 539436 450585 88851 84067 66780 17287 130623 DEFERRED RENT 232333 232333 X 2339583 38237 20880 59117 2280466 10927 10927 2291393 2866246 20880 20880 2845366 10927 10927 2856293 PART X, LINE 2: THE ORGANIZATION DOES NOT BELIEVE ITS FINANCIAL STATEMENTS INCLUDE ANY MATERIAL, UNCERTAIN TAX POSITIONS.
