All students participated in a variety of activities such as culinary arts, career exploration, movement, restorative justice circles, art expression, and mental health wellness workshops that focused on stress management, coping strategies, and self-care practices. We administered social emotional learning assessments to determine each student's level of Emotional Intelligence. At the end of the year, we used the data collected to make informed decisions about next year's programming. In addition, surveys were given to assess engagement and level of interest from students. This year we served 20 students with 100% of participants identifying as Latino and African American. The objective of the program was to provide a safe and supportive environment for students to engage with one another, build new skill sets, and strengthen emotional intelligence while also promoting positive mental health. Furthermore, to address any mental health challenges that acted as barriers to individual student success. This outcome was achieved as reflected in student surveys, where participants reported handling their emotions more effectively, practicing healthier coping strategies, and feeling better supported in their overall well-being after completing the program. true false false false false false false false false false true false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false 1 0 true 4 true false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false 3 3 false true false false false false false true true false false false true true true true true true true true false false NY X New Life Tax Accounting 8456945398 17 Breezy Knoll Dr Newburgh NY 12550 Latesha Anderson President X 0 0 0 Jillian Williams Secretary X 0 0 0 Nia Best Treasurer X 0 0 0 Tanika McCullough Executive Director 40 X X X 50000 0 0 50000 0 0 0 true false false 0 137500 1004 138504 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 138504 0 0 0 54974 42505 12469 15188 5939 9249 12900 12900 11725 11725 1953 1690 263 725 725 3309 604 2705 312 312 0 2562 1093 1469 Subcriptions 1539 877 661 Consultants 13139 12094 1045 Utilities 832 622 210 Supplies 2022 1686 336 22611 19718 2889 4 143791 98553 45233 4 7903 4963 1675 335 0 1340 7903 6303 0 1471 0 1471 7903 4832 7903 6303 -5287 X true false true false false X 138504 138504 0 0 0 0 0 0 138504 138504 138504 0 0 0 138504 1.00000 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 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 0 false false false false false false 0 false 0 0 0 0 0 false false false 0 0 0 1675 335 1340 0 1340 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 Management duties delegation Part VI line 3 DAFT Youth Services Inc contracted with New Life Tax Accounting to handle its financial books and related accounting functions This arrangement includes the management of financial records preparation of financial statements and oversight of bookkeeping duties for the organization New Life Tax Accounting does not have decision making authority over DAFT Youth Services Inc operational or governance matters which remain under the supervision of the organizations officers and board members Conflict of interest policy compliance Part VI DAFT Youth Services INC maintains a Conflict of Interest Policy adopted on July 15 2023 ensuring ethical governance All board members officers and key employees annually disclose potential conflicts of interest and affirm their compliance Conflicts are reviewed by disinterested board members with recusal from decisions as appropriate Meeting minutes document all related disclosures and actions taken demonstrating the organizations commitment to transparency and compliance with IRS regulations Governing documents, etc., available to public DAFT Youth Services Inc makes its governing documents conflict of interest policy and financial statements available to the public upon request Individuals interested in reviewing these documents may contact the organizations office at DAFT Youth Services Inc 85 Grand St Carriage House Newburgh NY 12550 Not undergone required audits or steps for audit DAFT Youth Services Inc makes its governing documents conflict of interest policy and financial statements available to the public upon request Individuals interested in reviewing these documents may contact the organizations office at DAFT Youth Services Inc 85 Grand St Carriage House Newburgh NY 12550 CEO, executive director, top management comp Part VI During the tax year the Board of Directors of DAFT Youth Services Inc followed a defined process to determine the compensation of the organizations Executive Director the top management official This process included Independent Review The compensation package was reviewed and approved by independent members of the Board who did not have a conflict of interest with the Executive Director Use of Comparability Data The Board considered compensation data from similarly situated organizations including published salary surveys and industry benchmarks to ensure that the proposed compensation was reasonable and comparable Contemporaneous Documentation All decisions discussions and supporting materials were documented in the Board meeting minutes at the time the approval occurred O16 -
