Program 1: Guatemalan Student Support Group (GSSG) forms partnerships with other like-minded organizations to build new, or to enhance existing, primary (primaria) and middle (basico) schools in villages and towns in Guatemala; supplying these students with educational materials and supplementing teachers' salaries in schools to attract and retain high-quality educators. The supported schools will emphasize the development of leadership skills and proficiency in Spanish and English. Approximately 45 students were provided services during 2023. 0 3828 Program 2: Promising impoverished Guatemalan youth identified in Program 1, or by Board members, for their leadership and academic potential will be supported for advanced studies at Guatemalan high schools (diversificado) and universities. Opportunities for short periods of study in the USA will be provided if organizational resources permit. While in the program, all students will sign contracts covering the conditions of their scholarships and the expectations for community service focused on improving the educational opportunities for their fellow Guatemalans. 25684 1799 In 2021 there were only two Program Service areas. 0 0 5627 Jorge Paque Trustee and Associate Director for Guatemala 15 4322 0 0 Bayron Cap Trustee and Assistant Director for Guatemala 10 4601 0 0 Kim R Jones Trustee and Board Chairperson 20 0 0 0 Debbie Lindsey Trustee and Board Secretary 10 0 0 0 Berkeley Grimball Jr Trustee 1 0 0 0 Ana Cristina Espana Gallardo Trustee (resigned 5/1/23) 0.3 0 0 0 Jorge Achila Trustee (resigned 12/31/23) 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 NC Kim R Jones MD PhD PO Box 1482 Carrboro NC 27510 9196199411 1 GT 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 NONE NONE 1 X 84133 68050 63656 52847 59580 328266 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 84133 68050 63656 52847 59580 328266 21248 8100 16581 7570 6348 59847 0 0 0 0 0 21248 8100 16581 7570 6348 59847 268419 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 84133 68050 63656 52847 59580 328266 0.81769 0.82054 0 0 X RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED Form 990-EZ, Part I, Line 10 Students in the university program are selected based on academic achievement and leadership abilities.
