WE DON'T STOP AT A NURTURING ENVIRONMENT. WE INTENTIONALLY CARVE OUT AND ENGAGE OPPORTUNITIES THAT TACTICALLY ALLOW OUR YOUTH TO GROW AND THRIVE BEYOND OUR VILLAGE. KLUB IS OUR STAPLE PROGRAM AT THE URBAN VILLAGE. KLUB INCORPORATES ACADEMIC SUPPORT, HIGH ENERGY GAMES, AND A PEER SUPPORT MODEL THAT CREATES A DEEP SENSE OF BELONGING FOR STUDENTS. THE URBAN VILLAGE IS PROUD TO OFFER FISCAL SPONSORSHIPS TO EMERGING ORGANIZATIONS. WITHIN THE KNYAW AND KARENNI COMMUNITIES. WE PROVIDE SEED, MONEY, OVERSIGHT, ADMINISTRATIVE SUPPORT, AND GROWTH TRAINING TO GROUPS WHOSE MISSIONS ALIGN WITH OUR OWN. WE DON'T JUST LAUNCH YOUTH. WE EMPOWER OTHERS TO DO THE SAME. THE "FIGHT FOR SOMETHING" SCHOLARSHIP EXISTS TO REMOVE FINANCIAL BARRIERS TO HIGHER EDUCATION FACED BY MANY OF OUR KNYAW AND KARENNI YOUTH LIVING HERE IN MINNESOTA, THROUGH 4-YEAR SCHOLARSHIPS. 118932 CONNECT PROGRAMS: OUR CONNECT PROGRAMS ALIGN WITH OUR BELIEF THAT CONNECTING STARTS INWARD AND THEN BRAVELY GROWS OUTWARD INTO RELATIONSHIPS THAT REACH ACROSS DIVIDES. THIS INCLUDES OUR K'NYAW AND KARENNI SUMMER CAMPS AND OUR ARCHIVE. OUR YOUTH DESERVE TO BE ROOTED IN WHO THEY ARE AND HAVE OPPORTUNITIES TO EXPLORE THEIR CULTURAL HERITAGE, HISTORY, AND HOMELAND IN ORDER TO UNDERSTAND THEIR IDENTITY AS THEY GO OUT INTO THE WORLD AS CONNECTORS AND PEACEMAKERS. THE URBAN VILLAGE CAMP IS A SUMMER IMMERSION EXPERIENCE CENTERED ON CREATING A SAFE SPACE FOR KNYAW YOUTH TO EXPLORE AND ENGAGE THE INTERSECTION OF THEIR IDENTITIES AS BOTH KNYAW/KARENNI AND AMERICAN YOUTH. LASTLY, OUR K'NYAW DIGITAL ARCHIVE WHERE KAREN YOUTH SET UP RECORDED INTERVIEWS WITH ELDERS TO PRESERVE THEIR STORIES, EXPERIENCES, AND WISDOM FOR GENERATIONS TO COME. THIS CONTENT IS EXPANDING, AND WILL LIVE ON THE URBAN VILLAGE WEBSITE FOR FREE ACCESS TO ALL. 20060 16438 HEAL PROGRAMS: GIVEN THE REALITIES OF VIOLENCE AND DISPLACEMENT OUR COMMUNITY HAS FACED, WE BELIEVE CREATING OPPORTUNITIES FOR YOUTH TO ENGAGE WITH AND HEAL FROM PAST AND PRESENT TRAUMAS/HURTS/ INJUSTICES ARE NECESSARY FOR A MORE ROBUST AND SUSTAINABLE LAUNCH. THIS IS WHY WE OFFER HEAL PROGRAMS KNOWN AS ASIAN YOUTH OUTREACH (AYO) AND URBAN VILLAGE OUTDOORS. IN AN EFFORT TO PROVIDE A HOPEFUL ALTERNATIVE FOR STRUGGLING YOUTH, THE URBAN VILLAGE HAS PARTNERED WITH MEMBERS OF OUR COMMUNITY TO CREATE AND GROW THE ASIAN YOUTH OUTREACH (AYO) INITIATIVE. THIS PROGRAM RECOGNIZES AND ADDRESSES THE ISSUES OF GANG VIOLENCE, TRUANCY, AND CHEMICAL DEPENDENCY BY PROVIDING CONSISTENT ONE TO ONE CULTURALLY RELEVANT MENTORSHIP AND GROUP FACILITATION FOR OUR YOUTH. OUR SECOND HEAL PROGRAM IS THE URBAN VILLAGE OUTDOORS WHICH TAKES PLACE IN THE BOUNDARY WATERS AND AT VARIOUS STATE PARKS WHERE ROCK CLIMBING IS ACCESSIBLE. WE SEE GETTING OUTDOORS AS OF PARAMOUNT IMPORTANCE FOR YOUTH, FOSTERING PHYSICAL, MENTAL, AND EMOTIONALWELL-BEING. LN AN ERA DOMINATED BY DIGITAL TECHNOLOGY AND URBANIZATION, ENGAGING WITH OUR INDIGENOUS ROOTS IN NATURE PROVIDES A VITAL ANTIDOTE TO OUR SCREEN-CENTRIC CULTURE. 199541 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 2 0 1 4 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 X 9 9 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 MN X JESSE PHENOW 6129873203 1082 ARCADE ST ST PAUL MN 55106 LUKE BUTTENHOFF CHAIR 5.00 X X 0 0 0 CARLY MILLER GENERAL BOARD MEMBER 5.00 X 0 0 0 TESSA BUTTENHOFF BOARD MEMBER 5.00 X 0 0 0 MICHAEL FRIEDLUND TREASURER 5.00 X X 0 0 0 KAZIAH JOSIAH BOARD MEMBER 5.00 X 0 0 0 HSA JUNE DYAN BOARD MEMBER 5.00 X 0 0 0 SUNSHINE POE BOARD MEMBER 5.00 X 0 0 0 JULIA MARKSUE BOARD MEMBER 5.00 X 0 0 0 EH TAH KHU BOARD MEMBER 5.00 X 0 0 0 JESSE PHENOW EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR 40.00 X X 60000 0 0 KU HSER DIRECTOR OF EVENTS 40.00 X X 5223 0 0 65223 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 339142 339142 74984 0 74984 74984 414126 0 0 74984 X 16438 16438 65223 41223 12000 12000 53800 53800 9064 7027 1123 914 5641 5641 63654 43715 9539 10400 2284 511 654 1119 2875 1362 1513 2316 2316 SUPPLIES 29057 24449 3906 702 LOCAL - MEALS 5540 4351 1189 EVENT 5447 5447 FIGHT FOR SOMETHING SCH 3500 3500 8146 1218 6228 700 272985 199541 46420 27024 144596 269059 3879 957 148475 270016 30114 10514 30114 10514 X 118361 259502 118361 259502 148475 270016 141141 0 X 0 0 0 X 16722 110767 228308 220036 413977 989810 16722 110767 228308 220036 413977 989810 0 0 0 989810 16722 110767 228308 220036 413977 989810 1.00000 0.00000 X RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED 0 DUE TO I AM KNYAW MOVEMENT 10514 10514 GALA 74984 74984 74984 74984 74984 0 BETHEL UNIVERSITY 3900 BETHEL DR ST PAUL MN 55112 410708577 19938 0 OPERATIONS FORM 990, PART VI, SECTION B, LINE 11B THE EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR AND TREASURER REVIEW THE FORM 990 TO CONFIRM ITS ACCURACY.
