The program proposes to engage selected students in aseries of interactive coding workshops and ongoing mentoring with STEMprofessionals with disabilities. URU holds its targeted students to the samestandards as other abled students, while also incorporating scaffoldingaccording to student ability levels.Integral to the intervention is the payment of a stipend to each student tointroduce the students to the responsibility and monetary reward of work.This is particularly important for students with disabilities who are oftenexcluded from after school and summer work opportunities. It is importantto have a multi-generational participation that includes the family membersand other local support networks for the students.30 students participated for 12 weeks with 17 instructors.The Organization also filmed Our Humanity with Thomas LaVeist.OUR HUMANITY is a timely docu-series discussing the most pressingissues of representation, inclusivity and justice around Black, Brown, andIndigenous Health. Each 30-minute episode, brings together experts,scientists, influencers, and survivors engaged in an urgent andunapologetic dialogue on issues ranging from genetic history, structuralracism in healthcare, Black maternal mortality, and the existential neglect of the marginalized.Systemic racism can be defined as an institutionalized malpractice if youlook at the statistics in Black maternal mortality, or the chronic disconnectand distrust between medical professionals and non-white patients. Thisdisparity is part of a larger problem: an African American or Latina mothernot receiving accurate care, has similar root cause as Serena Williams one of the most prolific and gifted athletes of our time being forced to withstand personal attacks and body shaming throughout her entire career. This bigger-picture pervasive bias, trickles down into the most intimate and vital aspect of our humanity: our bodies, our health. 1162749 true false false false false false false false false true false false true false false true false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false true false false false false false false false false false false false false false true 0 0 19 true false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false X 5 5 false false false false false false false true true false false true true true true true true true true false CT X CRYSTAL EMERY 2033898829 70 AUDOBON STREET New Haven CT 06510 X ROBYN KRAKUE SECRETARY 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 TANAYI SEABROOK MEMBER 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 TONI HARP MEMBER 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 URIAH MONK TREASUREWR 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 ALLEN SCOTT CHAIRPERSON 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 CRYSTAL EMERY PRESIDENT 40.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 false false false 672365 672365 BOOK SALES AND MISC 511130 PROGRAM REVENUE 900099 672365 0 0 0 X 327731 294958 32773 10591 9532 1059 28514 25663 2851 66310 59679 6631 56747 51073 5674 2077 2077 9868 9868 TELEPHONE 12702 11432 1270 ADMIN EXPENSE 20890 20890 BOOKKEEPING EXPENSE 76550 68895 7655 PROGRAM PRODUCTION EXPENSES 458902 458902 179811 161725 18086 1250693 1162749 87944 0 X 1023910 374320 115639 85219 19289 30420 3000 54851 1046199 459591 45570 37290 20938 20938 150000 150000 216508 208228 X 829691 251363 829691 251363 1046199 459591 -578328 0 X true X false true false X 879396 348682 916083 1861215 285000 4290376 879396 348682 916083 1861215 285000 4290376 986076 3304300 4290376 0.77020 0.78270 X false false false false false false false false false false 115639 85219 30420 30420 DUE FROM EMPLOYEES 54851 54851 672365 672365 672365 1250693 1250693 1250693 CRYSTAL EMERY WORKING CAPITAL FOR X 59316 20938 false true false 20938 Amended return information THE ORIGINAL RETURN FILED MISTAKENLY DISCLOSED CONTRIBUTIONS RECEIVED AS GOVERNMENT GRANTS IN THE AMOUNT OF $1,861,215 ON PAGE 9 LINE 1E.
