The MORE Literacy Program focuses on mentoring students in elementary and middle school who are reading at least 6 months below grade level. Youth leaders, community volunteers and/or a Literacy Coach are in the schools every day. The MORE Literacy Program receives referrals from school administrators, literacy coaches or teachers. We provided one-on-one reading support to reluctant readers, which increases reading skills. 28276 The Kids Win:Pathways to Success Mentoring Program (KW:PT) serves high-risk youth ages 10-18. Administrators, school based truancy teams, guidance counselors, teachers, parents, peers and/or community partners such as the Children's Shelter, Department of Juvenile Justice and/or Take Stock in Children refer youth to the Kids Win Mentoring Program. The mission is to engage underperforming students who are truant and/or are failing at least one core subject. The goal is to reduce truancy and improve grades. Mentors help students develop positive personal relationships; develop life skills; offer support and encouragement; improve time management skills; help students feel respected; develop a sense of trust with an adult; help set goals, improve grades and attendance. Our hope is that the mentor will help the student make healthy lifestyle choices and create a life without drugs, alcohol or violence. There are thirty-eight students in this program. Current success rate is 70% in improving grades and/or decreasing truancy. 74754 High school students are involved in educational, cultural and skill building activities that empower them to make positive changes in their lives and in their community. This program generates interest from many students who are looking for community service hours in their high school years. They participate in monthly drug, alcohol and violence prevention programs as addressed by the national organization, Students Against Destructive Decisions (SADD). They also participate in events such as Red Ribbon Week, Veterans' Day, Unity Day, Martin Luther King Day, Wounded Warrior Welcoming, Random Acts of Kindness Day, Earth Day, and Human Trafficking Awareness campaigns. This program builds leaders for the future and promotes empathy in our society. 1638 104668 Tara Whitehead President 1.00 0 Floyd Jenkins Director 1.00 0 Andrea Spottswoood Treasurer 2.00 0 Sean Brandenburg Director 1.00 0 Elena Spottswood Director 1.00 0 Bonnie Helms Director 1.00 0 Heidi Golightly Executive Dir. 44.00 0 false false false false false false false 0 0 0 false 0 0 false FL Heidi Golightly 1208 Watson Street Key West FL 33040 5419744398 false false false false false false false false false false false NONE NONE true X 103921 85923 123723 123017 125325 561909 0 0 103921 85923 123723 123017 125325 561909 0 561909 1774 3085 11080 15939 0 44 44 577892 0.97230 0.99160 X RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED Other Revenue.1 Miscellaneous income $44 Other Expenses.1001 Advertising and Promotion $289 Other Expenses.1002 Office Expenses $902 Other Expenses.1005 Travel $218 Other Expenses.1012 Insurance $815 Other Expenses.1 Payoff student lunch debts $10200 Other Expenses.2 Book vending machine $6240 Other Expenses.3 Kids Win presentation at KWHS $5000 Other Expenses.4 Books $2000 Other Expenses.5 Awards & Recognitions $1000 Other Expenses.6 Student assistance $950 Other Expenses.7 Youth meetings & celebrations $893 Other Expenses.8 Kids Win program supplies $710 Other Expenses.9 Kids Win meetings & celebratio $498 Other Expenses.10 MORE meals & celebrations $429 Other Expenses.11 Website $207 Other Expenses.12 Licenses & fees $187 Other Expenses.13 Meals & entertainment $161 Other Expenses.15 Miscellaneous $14 Other Expenses.16 Youth leadership supplies $7 Other Assets.1 Endowed funds - Beginning $93529 Endowed funds - Ending $104609
