To fulfill our mission, we place staff inside targeted, high-need public schools, who work directly with vulnerable students and those with the greatest risk of dropping out throughout the school day. We empower over 2,500 students to stay in school and on the path to graduation each year. Our trained student support specialists do this by partnering with counselors and teachers, mobilizing the community to offer extra support, and doing whatever it takes to help students succeed. Our unique model works because it's based on national research, driven by community relationships and supported by local resources. Current programs include Student Support Specialists at 34 area schools, afterschool programs at 6 schools in Pender County, Community Learning Alternatives for Suspended Students (CLASS) at our downtown youth center, WIRE, Teen Court, Restitution, and Restorative Justice, Freedom School and summer enrichment programs, and programming to support and empower teen parents. During the 2023/2024 school year, we provided free programming and support to 34,549 students and families, and case-managed an additional 2,664. Of those, 99% stayed in school, 94% graduated, 88% improved academically, 79% improved behavior, and 93% improved attendance. 4781937 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 1 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 56 0 1 126 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 X 23 23 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 0 0 NC X X X Louise Hicks 9103431901 1209 Market Street Unit A Wilmington NC 28401 Megan Liborio Director 2.00 X 0 0 0 Donterio Perkins Director 2.00 X 0 0 0 Ben Castner Current Treasurer 2.00 X X 0 0 0 Lisa Brenner Director 2.00 X 0 0 0 Marcio Aleman Director 2.00 X 0 0 0 Dominique Bates Director 2.00 X 0 0 0 Carolyn Fisher Director 2.00 X 0 0 0 Shawn Lamb Director 2.00 X 0 0 0 Kevin French Director 2.00 X 0 0 0 Bain Cornette Director 2.00 X 0 0 0 Graham Elmore Director 2.00 X 0 0 0 Dr Patrice Faison Director 2.00 X 0 0 0 Angel Garcia Director 2.00 X 0 0 0 Jim Busby Board Chair 2.00 X X 0 0 0 Janet Redinger Director 2.00 X 0 0 0 Jessica Lofton Director 2.00 X 0 0 0 Ted Keilholz Director 2.00 X 0 0 0 Joe Oots Director 2.00 X 0 0 0 Stephanie Kraybill Vice Chair 2.00 X X 0 0 0 John Lyon Director 2.00 X 0 0 0 Evan Renneker Former Treasurer 2.00 X X 0 0 0 Tara Ketner Director 2.00 X 0 0 0 Cindy Talbert Director 2.00 X 0 0 0 Louise Hicks Executive Director 40.00 X 108956 0 0 108956 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 3793816 1906043 5699859 86669 86669 149693 79986 69707 69707 5856235 86669 0 69707 108956 76270 16343 16343 3511845 3438513 29091 44241 273034 267574 2730 2730 290653 284839 2907 2907 40298 40298 2387 2339 24 24 227067 222525 2271 2271 117793 115437 1178 1178 203508 199438 2035 2035 15718 15404 157 157 19965 10356 9609 Contract Services 68845 67691 1154 0 Field Trips, Outreach, 38197 37433 382 382 In-Kind 24368 23880 244 244 Investment Fees 11960 11720 120 120 17531 8518 8949 64 4972125 4781937 117492 72696 823803 1912149 331958 186819 7482 20528 89834 51297 54255 38537 1531310 1715581 119753 67147 2868561 3940761 58729 100540 120093 67147 178822 167687 X 2164581 2085001 525158 1688073 2689739 3773074 2868561 3940761 884110 153257 45968 0 X 0 1 X 0 1 1 X 1513570 2142603 4477659 4642418 5699859 18476109 21600 21600 21600 64800 1513570 2142603 4499259 4664018 5721459 18540909 18540909 2034 905 6477 46072 86669 142157 18683066 0.99240 0.99590 X RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED 17498 15657 1841 72336 35640 36696 38537 Short-Term Operating Lease Liabilities 52422 Long-Term Operating Lease Liabilities 14725 67147 6043500 153257 45968 199225 5844275 11960 11960 5856235 4960165 0 4960165 11960 11960 4972125 Form 990, Page 12, Part XII, Line 2b explanation Accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America require the Organization's management to evaluate tax positions taken by the Organization and recognize a tax liability (or asset) if the Organization has taken an uncertain position that more likely than not would not be sustained upon examination by the Internal Revenue Service. The Organization has analyzed the tax positions taken and has concluded that as of June 30, 2024, there are no uncertain positions taken or expected to be taken that would require recognition of a liability (or asset) or disclosure in the financial statements. The Organization is subject to routine audits by taxing jurisdictions; however, there are currently no audits for any tax periods in progress. The Organization believes it is no longer subject to income tax examinations for years prior to 2021.
