In addition to robotics instruction, the partnership was designed to provide high school students with mentorship exposure and career-connected learning opportunities through Project LEDOs summer camps. Project LEDO also facilitated multiple community-based events, including robotics engagement activities and financial literacy symposiums, aimed at strengthening leadership development, workforce readiness, and long-term academic and career pathways for students. Project LEDO has always believed in the power of partnerships and collaboration. We understand that by joining forces with other local organizations that share our core values, we can make an even bigger impact on the communities we serve. Through these strategic alliances, Project LEDO has formed a strong and united front to address the pressing issues faced by BIPOC communities. Our programs have expanded to include a collaboration with We Belong PDX, which has allowed us to touch even more students. Additionally, our partnership with POIC has further strengthened our outreach. A significant accomplishment in our program is that we have students going to the Academy of Science. These students are comprised primarily of immigrant students and people of color. We have also provided computers to help bridge the gap in the digital divide. Our program has partners with Wells Fargo, Chase Bank, PG&E and others in efforts to support our mission. These partnerships have not only increased our resources but also extended our reach into new areas. By collaborating with like-minded organizations, Project LEDO has been able to expand its programs and initiatives to two additional school districts. This means more students from diverse backgrounds now have access to the field of science and technology. 247279 true true false false false false false false false false true false false true 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 true 6 0 true 6 true false false false false false false false 0 false false false false false false false false false false X 6 4 true false false false false false false true false false false true true true true false false false false false OR X Good Steward Financial Co 3365870917 2779 S Church St 302 Burlington NC 27214 Fidel Ferrer President & CEO 60.00 0.00 X X 96249 0 0 Sarah Adams Vice President 4.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 Margarita Ferrer Tamayo Secretary 9.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 Felicia Wells Treasurer 9.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 Jesus Aringuibel Director 4.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Yodit Tadeese Director 10.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 96249 0 false false false 0 370490 525 370490 Child/Youth Training 611710 44510 44510 44510 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 415000 44510 0 0 0 0 96249 81811 9625 4813 0 80230 80230 0 4262 3622 427 213 15327 14039 859 429 32932 32932 0 15926 15926 0 0 0 11004 11004 3593 3593 2381 2024 238 119 7449 6331 747 371 0 30921 26283 3092 1546 7872 7872 0 1640 1394 164 82 0 0 7046 7046 6513 5536 651 326 Program Services 4226 4226 Volunteer Support 2747 2747 In-Kind Donations 525 525 0 330843 247279 64661 18903 151434 109913 0 0 20009 21850 0 0 0 0 3830 16778 116030 12120 103910 0 0 0 0 59490 32968 234763 285419 9636 8841 72968 40262 82604 49103 X 152159 236316 152159 236316 234763 285419 84157 X false false false X 52463 229657 172950 282845 415000 1152915 0 0 52463 229657 172950 282845 415000 1152915 0 1152915 0 0 0 1152915 1.00000 1.00000 X RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED 116030 12120 103910 103910 32968 32968 Accrues Payroll Taxes 1094 Lease Liability 39168 40262 Form 990, Part VI, Section A, Line 2 The Board of Director's Secretary/Vice President is the mother of the Borad of Director's President/CEO Form 990, Part VI, Section A, Line 8b Meetings of the Board of Directors will have general notes with a semi-formal meeting format.
