Through scholarships mentorships and ongoing character-building programs we provide viable opportunities along with the support and encouragement that may have been missing throughout their childhood. Our ultimate mission is to empower these resilient teens to aim higher so we can break the cycle of intergenerational incarceration in the United States. FAFSA FRIENDLY - The transition from high school to college can be overwhelming for an any kid but for at-risk youth it is crucial for them to latch on to career aspirations early on. STAND A CHANCE took this program to numerous high schools and extended the invitation to other at-risk youth groups. Altogether this program served 1548 high school students and one of them became a scholarship recipient. The program consisted of a presentation on potential careers and the educational requirements for each. Numerous careers have emerged in recent years such as a drone pilot or a career in AI. Most often student aid is available for trade schools as well as traditional universities. Many students are intimidated by the FAFSA application so we broke it down and explained eligibility for the Pell grant which is 7,395 this year----grant not loan. Undoubtedly this program is another low cost success. The high schools welcome us and many of them have donated to STAND A CHANCE. 0 200 WINNING WITH WRITING - An ongoing monthly creative writing workshop on effective storytelling and expressing opinions on paper. Kids have anxiety when required to write an essay for admissions. We cover the advantages of AI but also why an applicant should not rely too heavily on it. We hosted an online Discussion Board which is an initially anonymous opportunity to connect with other kids with an incarcerated parent. We served 50 students in this program and many attend every month. Their goal is producing an unforgettable essay that leads to an acceptance letter. Upon request we divert at times to other tasks such as effective resume writing. We have competitions with a shared topic and polish up public speaking skills by reciting them in front of the others. This task unleashes the creativity buried under low self-esteem. The workshop promotes self-confidence and overcoming social anxiety. It is a no cost but incredibly productive workshop that they look forward to all month. 0 200 Angel Tree Camp led by the STAND A CHANCE team facilitated the attendance of four first-time campers at the June 22-26 session tailored for children with incarcerated parents. The Uskichitto Retreat Center in LeBlanc LA situated on Whiskey Chitto Creek offered a 120-acre haven where campers engaged in activities like horseback riding and zip-lining fostering a supportive environment shared with peers facing similar challenges. To ensure their participation our staff accompanied the campers for the initial day enhancing their sense of camaraderie. The campers expenses were fully covered by the Prison Ministry sponsorship with the only cost incurred being the 294-mile round trip for transportation. 0 400 The Red Cross of Southeast Louisiana instructed our group in a Simulation Learning course performing CPR on adults and children integrating comprehensive AED certification compliant with OSHA standards. This training provides a valuable skill set pertinent in any working environment and a formidable addition to any resume. With first responders averaging 8-12 minutes these skills should be appealing to any employer. Eight students earned certification which is valid for two years. This course is 50 but our participants received a reduced fee of 20 by donating blood. The Red Cross instructor shared inspiring stories of practical life lessons captivating the audience with every word. This course demonstrated the impact of volunteer work in a community and the powerful gift of saving a life. We did this twice offering the opportunity to not only our group but to other groups we partner with. This certification is invaluable for our students and a mini-fundraiser. 2500 100 900 Sue Ann Staton Founder - Director 50 0 0 0 Bonnie Braco Director of Operations 20 20800 0 250 Dinah Thibodeaux Scholarship Liason 20 15600 0 500 Heather Hansen Director of Fundraising 30 0 0 0 Matthew Franklin Director of Finance 15 0 0 0 Lilo Valenciago Director of Volunteers 15 0 Penny Neubauer Volunteer 15 0 false false false false false 0 false false false false Bryson Law Firm 1100 POYDRAS ST STE 2900 NEW ORLEANS LA 70163 5042249220 false false false false false false false false X false false false NONE NONE true X 0 0 0 0 54540 54540 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 54540 54540 0 54540 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 54540 0 X Fundraising 11 15 25 9523 150 9373 100 200 300 200 200 250 Fundraising 01 01 26 13562 170 13392 100 250 500 450 300 220 12590 155 12435 110 60 15 100 440 120 35675 475 35200 310 510 815 750 940 590 3915 31285 Doing Business As Names STAND A CHANCE Part I, line 8 | Other Revenues:, Amount:| CASH BACK - CREDIT CARDS, $345| Part I, line 10 - Cash | Description:, Amount:, Grantee Type:, Grantee Name:, Grantee Address:, Activity Type:, Class of Activity Description:, RelationShipDescription:|Keisha Hudson Scholarship Galen School of Nursing, $5000, -, -, -, -, -, - | Keisha Hudson Scholarship Galen School of Nursing, $5000, -, -, -, -, -, - | Lyle Breaux Scholarship Mississippi State, $5000, -, -, -, -, -, - | Lyle Breaux Scholarship Mississippi State, $5000, -, -, -, -, -, - | Clancy Curtis Scholarship University of Arkansas, $5000, -, -, -, -, -, - | Clancy Curtis Scholarship University of Arkansas, $5000, -, -, -, -, -, - | Marcella Gomez Scholarship Cizik School of Nursing, $5000, -, -, -, -, -, - | Marcella Gomez Scholarship Cizik School of Nursing, $5000, -, -, -, -, -, - | Part II, line 24 | Explanation:, BOYAmount:, EOYAmount:| MacBook, $300, $100| Apple Accessories: Magic Keyboards Magic Mice, $500, $350| Bose Speakers, $290, $200| MacBook Air M5 1 TB, $2000, $1800| iPad Pro 15 1 TB, $1400, $1300| Canon PRO 310, $800, $700| iPhone 17 Air, $1100, $900| Apple iMac, $1500, $1150| Part II, line 26 | Explanation:, BOYAmount:, EOYAmount:| BUSINESS LOAN, $2500, $2000| CREDIT CARD DEBT, $4000, $4000| Part I, Line 4 | Explanation:| Other Investment Income INTEREST INCOME
