Social Emotional Learning (SEL) includes five core competencies: self-awareness, self-management, social awareness, relationship skills, and responsible decision-making. Acquiring these skills will enable Princeton-Blairstown Center participants to change their communities and the world. false false 1904256 552226 Blairstown Campus ProgramsDuring a typical year, groups of students and their chaperones come from across the Mid-Atlantic region to stay at PBCs 268-acre Blairstown Campus in the northwest corner of New Jersey near the Delaware Water Gap for one to five days. These students come from public schools, independent schools, and community-based organizations. Most of these organizations provide services to students from historically marginalized communities which face numerous challenges such as poverty, low-performing schools, high-crime neighborhoods, food insecurity, single adult households, court-involved youth, or youth in foster care. The Blairstown Campus serves as an extension of their school or community organization a place where they can practice critical 21st Century skills that can be taken back to their schools, families, and communities. These trips are organized by the administration or faculty of the visiting school or organization expressly for the purpose of obtaining instruction in non-cognitive skills using PBCs social-emotional learning (SEL) curriculum. The SEL skills that PBC teaches can include verbal and non-verbal communication, leadership, cooperation, team building, problem solving, healthy risk-taking, empathy, and interpersonal skills; each individual student group determines which skills should be the focus of their PBC program. During their time at PBC, students work in small groups with carefully trained facilitators and spend most of the day in instructional activities, with time for meals, sleep, and personal reflection/ journal writing. During a typical year, the Center serves between 7,500 and 8,000 students and leaders/ chaperones. Because of the global COVID-19 pandemic, the Centers Board of Trustees limited overnight programming for the first quarter of 2022. In 2022, the Center served 5,385 students, chaperones, and families for day, extended day, and overnight programming.Summer Bridge ProgramPBCs Summer Bridge Program is a one-week academic enrichment and leadership program, provided free of charge to students from historically marginalized communities in Newark and Trenton, New Jersey. The program helps students lessen summer learning loss; build social-emotional skills like communication, cooperation, creativity, and critical-thinking; and form positive, supportive relationships with peers and adults. The program usually takes place at PBCs Blairstown Campus but because of the global pandemic, PBC created a hybrid version of the program in 2021 to ensure the safety and wellbeing of students and staff. PBC staff members took the program to parks and school yards in Newark and Trenton Monday through Thursday and on Fridays, groups traveled to our Blairstown Campus for a day of adventure education. Small groups of students spent approximately two hours a day engaged in hands-on literacy and STEM projects. They also spent two to three hours a day working on activities designed to enhance their social-emotional skills. During the summer of 2022, PBC predominately ran the hybrid Summer Bridge Program and also welcomed three small groups back to our Campus for the traditional overnight program. In 2022, PBC served 272 students and 45 leaders/chaperones through the Summer Bridge Program. Princeton University Groups ProgramAs an affiliate of Princeton University, PBC supports Princeton undergraduate civic engagement and student retreats in a natural setting. For the past several years, Community Action has sent a cohort of first year students to the Center as part of their orientation process. Additionally, other university groups used the Center to provide programming. During 2022, PBC served a total of 231 Princeton University students, staff, and leaders/chaperones. 1904256 true true false false false false false false false true true true false false true true true false false false false false false false true false false false false true false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false true 17 0 false 45 true false false false false false true true false 0 false false false false false false false X 24 24 false false false false false true false true true false false true true true true true true true true false NJ X Pamela Gregory 6099210070 13 Roszel Road Suite B109 Princeton NJ 08540 Pamela Gregory President & CEO 55.00 0.00 X 165475 0 18937 Jody Zengulis VP of Facilities 40.00 0.00 112626 0 14183 Nicole Nilsson VP Fin & Admin 40.00 0.00 X 92960 0 24392 Meredith Murray VP Extern.

To endow various programs and projects in accordance with donor and/or board directions. Part X : FIN48 Footnote In accordance with ASC Topic 740 Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes, the Organization has evaluated its tax positions. A tax position is recognized as a benefit only if it is more likely than not that the tax position would be sustained in a tax examination, with a tax examination being presumed to occur. The amount recognized is the largest amount of tax benefit that has a likelihood of being realized on examination of more than fifty percent. For tax positions not meeting the more likely than not test, no tax benefit is recorded. Under the more likely than not threshold guidelines, the Organization believes no significant uncertain tax positions exist, either individually or in the aggregate, that would give rise to the non-recognition of an existing tax benefit. In addition, the Organization had no material unrecognized tax benefits or accrued interest and penalties. The Organizations policy is to recognize interest related to unrecognized tax benefits in interest expense and penalties in income tax expense.
