WHETHER A MATCH IS GRABBING ICE CREAM, TAKING A WALK, HITTING UP THE LIBRARY, OR ATTENDING A BADGER GAME, THE GOAL IS TO PRODUCE QUALITY TIME THAT BUILDS A STRONG AND TRUSTING RELATIONSHIP. IN 2023, 440 YOUTH WERE MATCHED WITH A CARING ADULT MENTOR. IN THE FALL OF 2023, WE EXPANDED AND ENHANCED OUR TWO SCHOOL-BASED MENTORING PROGRAMS (SCHOOL FRIENDS AND HIGH SCHOOL LEADERSHIP PROGRAM) TO DRIVE EDUCATIONAL AND SOCIAL-EMOTIONAL OUTCOMES FOR 50-60 YOUTH IN ELEMENTARY, MIDDLE, AND HIGH SCHOOL.SCHOOL FRIENDS (SF) HAS BEEN LARGELY INACTIVE SINCE THE PANDEMIC STARTED IN 2020, BUT RESUMED THIS FALL AT ONE CITY SCHOOLS (ELEMENTARY) AND WRIGHT MIDDLE SCHOOL. ADULT MENTORS (BIGS) VISIT THEIR LITTLES 1X/WEEK FOR 30-60 MINUTES DURING LUNCH/RECESS OR AFTER SCHOOL. MATCHES, PLAY SPORTS, READ, DO ARTS & CRAFTS, OR JUST HANG OUT AND TALK. BBBS STAFF ARE ON-SITE DURING THE PROGRAM TO FACILITATE ACTIVITIES, CONNECT WITH SCHOOL PERSONNEL, AND PROVIDE IN-PERSON SUPPORT TO BIGS/LITTLES. THE HIGH SCHOOL LEADERSHIP PROGRAM (HSLP) IS AN ENHANCED VERSION OF SCHOOL FRIENDS. IN PARTNERSHIP WITH WEST HIGH SCHOOL AND RANDALL ELEMENTARY, THIS INNOVATIVE PROGRAM PAIRS HIGH SCHOOL MENTORS WITH ELEMENTARY MENTEES IN MENTORING RELATIONSHIPS THAT BUILD CONFIDENCE AND INCREASE CONNECTEDNESS TO SCHOOL, CULTURE, AND PEERS. THE PROGRAM USES A CURRICULUM THAT GIVES YOUNGER AND OLDER STUDENTS AN OPPORTUNITY TO GROW AND LEARN FROM ONE ANOTHER DURING THEIR WEEKLY MENTORING SESSIONS, WITH ENGAGING ACTIVITIES CENTERED ON TOPICS LIKE DEVELOPING A GROWTH MINDSET, BUILDING EMPATHY, LEARNING STEM SKILLS, AND PRACTICING GRATITUDE. HIGH SCHOOL MENTORS ALSO RECEIVE COACHING AND MENTORSHIP FROM BBBS STAFF.OUR PROGRAMS DO NOT DIRECTLY PROVIDE ACADEMIC SUPPORT, BUT RATHER IMPACT ESSENTIAL ELEMENTS OF YOUTH DEVELOPMENT, REDUCING EDUCATIONAL DISPARITIES. 90% OF LITTLES IN OUR PROGRAM MAINTAIN OR IMPROVE THEIR ACADEMIC PERFORMANCE, AND 79% HAVE HIGHER EDUCATIONAL EXPECTATIONS FOR THE FUTURE. NATIONAL RESEARCH MIRRORS OUR LOCAL DATA, SHOWING THAT MENTORED STUDENTS MAINTAIN BETTER ATTITUDES TOWARDS SCHOOL, ARE 52% LESS LIKELY TO SKIP SCHOOL, AND ARE 55% MORE LIKELY TO BE ENROLLED IN COLLEGE ("MENTOR, THE NATIONAL MENTORING PARTNERSHIP"). 455869 0 0 ENROLLMENT - 2023 RESULTED IN 57% MORE PROSPECTIVE VOLUNTEERS, ACCELERATED THE ENROLLMENT PROCESS FOR BIGS, AND CREATED 33% MORE MATCHES! WE CONDUCTED 244 VOLUNTEER INTERVIEWS WITH PROSPECTIVE BIGS. THESE ARE MEANINGFUL RESULTS, AND WE KNOW THERE IS STILL MUCH PROGRESS TO BE MADE IN REACHING KIDS WHO WANT A MENTOR. THE FUTURE IS FOCUSED ON THE GROWTH AND EXPANSION OF OUR MENTORING PROGRAMS, INCLUDING GROWING OUR SCHOOL-BASED PROGRAMS TO REACH KIDS WHO OTHERWISE MAY NOT HAVE THE OPPORTUNITY TO BE IN OUR COMMUNITY-BASED PROGRAM. 188485 970 0 IN THE FALL OF 2022, WE LAUNCHED MENTORU, A BRAND-NEW PROGRAM IN PARTNERSHIP WITH MARSHALL HIGH SCHOOL IN EASTERN DANE COUNTY. MENTORU IS AN INNOVATIVE APPROACH THAT PROVIDES ONE-TO-ONE MENTORING TO HIGH SCHOOL YOUTH, BLENDING MESSAGING TECHNOLOGY WITH A STRUCTURED CLASSROOM CURRICULUM FOCUSED ON COLLEGE READINESS, WORKFORCE DEVELOPMENT, CAREER EXPLORATION, AND SOCIAL-EMOTIONAL LEARNING THROUGHOUT THEIR HIGH SCHOOL JOURNEY. OUR FIRST COHORT (22/23 SCHOOL YEAR) INCLUDED ABOUT 15 10TH-GRADE STUDENTS, AND THE MAJORITY HAVE RE-ENROLLED FOR THEIR JUNIOR YEAR, ALONG WITH A NEW COHORT OF 12 10TH-GRADERS FOR THE 23/24 SCHOOL YEAR. WE OFFER HIGH-VALUE INCENTIVES THAT DRIVE OPPORTUNITY BY TAKING THE STUDENTS ON INTERACTIVE FIELD TRIPS, BRINGING IN GUEST SPEAKERS, AND INCREASING THE NUMBER OF HANDS-ON ACTIVITIES WE DO IN CLASS AND AT OUR EVENTS. AS A RESULT OF THESE EFFORTS, WE'VE SEEN INCREASED MESSAGING BETWEEN MENTORS AND MENTEES, HIGH MENTORU CLASS ATTENDANCE, GREATER PROGRAM SATISFACTION, AND CLASS ENGAGEMENT. STUDENTS HAVE REFLECTED ON THE IMPACT OF THESE EXPERIENCES AND SHARED THAT THEY ARE NOT RECEIVING THIS TYPE OF KNOWLEDGE AND SUPPORT ANYWHERE ELSE. 17658 0 0 OTHER - ADDITIONAL EVENTS, SUPPLIES, AND TRAINING TO SUPPORT BBBS' ONE-TO-ONE MENTORING PROGRAMS. 4925 0 0 BACK-TO-SCHOOL - AN ANNUAL EVENT WHERE BACKPACKS AND SCHOOL SUPPLY KITS ARE PROVIDED TO MENTEES TO GET THEM READY FOR THE UPCOMING SCHOOL YEAR. 22583 0 0 1149338 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 1 0 0 1 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 8 0 25 1 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 X 19 19 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 0 0 WI X CHRISTOPHER CONRAD NUMBERS 4 NONPR 6088072321 821 E WASHINGTON AVE 2ND FLOOR MADISON WI 53703 KARI GRASEE PRESIDENT 2.00 X X 0 0 0 ANA HOOKER VICE PRESIDENT 2.00 X X 0 0 0 JENNIFER GIEMZA TREASURER 2.00 X X 0 0 0 KEVIN TORRENCE SECRETARY 2.00 X X 0 0 0 CEDRIC ELLIS PAST PRESIDENT 2.00 X X 0 0 0 ASHLEY GREER RODRIGUEZ DIRECTOR 1.00 X 0 0 0 CASEY LIAKOS DIRECTOR 1.00 X 0 0 0 CHRIS ECKSTROM DIRECTOR 1.00 X 0 0 0 DAVE SEILER DIRECTOR 1.00 X 0 0 0 ENZO CIARLETTA DIRECTOR 1.00 X 0 0 0 JOSEPH MCGONIGLE DIRECTOR 1.00 X 0 0 0 BRUCE ROSEN DIRECTOR 1.00 X 0 0 0 KENNETH ALBRIDGE III DIRECTOR 1.00 X 0 0 0 KIAH CALMESE WALKER DIRECTOR 1.00 X 0 0 0 LYN-MARIE PILGRIM DIRECTOR 1.00 X 0 0 0 MIKE SOLT DIRECTOR 1.00 X 0 0 0 ROB KANE DIRECTOR 1.00 X 0 0 0 ROBERT LANG DIRECTOR 1.00 X 0 0 0 TANIKA APALOO DIRECTOR 1.00 X 0 0 0 SANDY MORALES CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER 40.00 X 110145 0 19447 110145 0 19447 1 0 0 0 0 151797 451729 457690 487334 24210 1548550 21352 21352 15142 451729 117846 -102704 -102704 1467198 0 0 -81352 14866 14866 129592 32398 45357 51837 946926 746466 39556 160904 12571 8397 1878 2296 125346 91851 14829 18666 78018 57315 5708 14995 43500 43500 70301 54050 9699 6552 14494 11357 3137 46470 11483 13834 21153 23741 8638 6194 8909 49197 39358 2225 7614 20993 14209 4237 2547 19354 8097 7303 3954 99 99 20423 20423 2789 2789 21255 17004 962 3289 FOOD AND SUPPLIES 58964 33849 3986 21129 BAD DEBT 10000 10000 DUES, SUBSCRIPTIONS, AN 6533 6533 1715432 1149338 242249 323845 297936 317156 673979 296251 251757 96688 44056 41914 22068 18653 4305 3415 550383 755026 13144 117425 23390 22290 1858950 1650165 75174 78846 45625 0 6219 4335 127018 83181 X 1013856 1162670 718076 404314 1731932 1566984 1858950 1650165 X -248234 81768 1518 X 0 1 X 1 0 X 1234807 1419414 1797536 1673081 1548550 7673388 1234807 1419414 1797536 1673081 1548550 7673388 471409 7201979 22429 21996 8976 11457 21352 86210 7759598 81370 0.92810 0.91630 X RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED 582249 101263 368 174 682970 689851 500 -107553 350 199 582249 604184 1000 85548 666 215 689851 527806 500 76187 309 604184 504554 500 88029 65277 527806 0.83905 0.16095 0.00000 1 0 22068 18653 3415 3415 MONEY MARKET FUNDS 117425 F 117425 FINANCE LEASE LIABILITY 4335 4335 1638732 81768 9169 1518 92455 1546277 -79079 -79079 1467198 1803680 9169 79079 88248 1715432 0 1715432 PART V, LINE 4: THE INCOME FROM THE ORGANIZATION'S ENDOWMENT FUNDS CAN BE USED TO SUPPORT THE ORGANIZATION'S GENERAL ACTIVITIES.
