The Corps' Conservation Programs include the Young Adult Corps and Clean & Green. Young Adult Corps (serves young adults ages 18 to 26 at enrollment at sites in Northeast (NELA), South, and East Los Angeles; Compton; and, East and West San Fernando Valley: The Young Adult Corps provides paid on-the-job training, a high school diploma program, vocational education and case management/transition support services to approximately 400 Corpsmembers each year. Corpsmembers earn at least the City/County of Los Angeles' minimum wage while performing basic-through-advanced environmental and conservation-related work projects, such as habitat restoration, tree planting and urban forestry, park and trail construction, water-efficient landscaping, graffiti removal, recycling, community beautification and natural disaster preparation/response. Corpsmembers can also participate in highly specialized job training programs, including the Environmental Workforce and Job Training Program to become certified in hazardous waste removal or other vocational programs such as the YouthBuild Job Training Program to receive hands-on construction experience. Clean & Green (serving youth ages 14 to 17): Clean & Green is a short-term paid job training program that employs approximately 50 high school students and graduates (14 - 17 years old) each year to work on community beautification/quality of life projects. Corpsmembers learn responsibility by developing their work habits while earning a much-needed paycheck that contributes to their households. Corpsmember Development Programs: Corpsmember Development Programs consist of two components: Development/Transition and Education Programs. Development/Transition Programs - Case managers help corpsmembers address their personal, family and other issues that have previously hampered their success in school and work. These obstacles and barriers often include: homelessness or risk of becoming homeless; substance abuse; health needs (mental and physical); emotional support and development (grief counseling, anger management, conflict resolution and racial/gender/sexual orientation tolerance); family issues (unity, supervision, family conflict, and reunification) and transportation assistance and legal aid/counsel (child support, warrants, tickets, and probation or parole issues). Corp Navigators work with corpsmembers to develop roadmaps and plan out the practical steps they need to take to achieve their personal, educational and career goals. Additional services available to corpsmembers include individual and group counseling, life skills workshops, and other college/career services that will help them successfully exit the Corps into a job, post-secondary education or advanced training. Also, any corpsmember who exits the Young Adult Corps is tracked by a case manager for up to twelve months and is provided with the necessary follow-up services to ensure their success with full-time employment and, if applicable, their educational and/or vocational training endeavors. Education Programs: The Corps serves Corpsmembers and other youth ages 14 to 26 at enrollment through a charter school partnership with the Los Angeles Education Corps (LAEC). LAEC's education programs at two Los Angeles sites serve approximately 200 youth, some of whom are Corpsmembers, who have been expelled, dropped out or never even started high school. These youth are given a second chance to earn a state-accredited high school diploma. Academics are complemented by an environmental education curriculum, experiential learning activities, college preparatory services, career preparation and work readiness services and case management. Corps-administered college and vocational scholarship opportunities and transition support are also available through both in-house and outside opportunities. 4750400 AFTER SCHOOL PROGRAM - The After School Program (serving elementary and middle school children) provides homework assistance, academic support and enrichment along with recreation activities to approximately 8,000 children at 22 Los Angeles Unified School District (LAUSD) campuses. Academic enrichment activities emphasize conservation, the environment, science, technology, engineering and math. Children also join in art, music and sports activities, serve as teacher aides and participate in on-campus service-learning projects to further connect their classrooms to their daily lives. The program provides working parents in low-income communities with safe and free supervision and care for their children during the hours after school when children this age may encounter unsafe, unsupervised activities that lead to poor school attendance, risky behaviors and low educational achievement. 22252990 true true false false false false false false false false true false false false true true true false false false false false false false true false false false true true false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false true 83 0 true 849 true false false false false false true true false false false false false false X 17 17 false false false false false false false true true false false true true true true true true true false false CA X X WENDY ANN BUTTS 2133629000 PO BOX 861658 LOS ANGELES CA 900861658 WENDY ANN BUTTS CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER 40.0 0.0 X 231938 0 8734 LLOYD WRIGHT CHIEF FINANCIAL OFFICER 40.0 0.0 X 172725 0 20703 THOMAS B SAVAGE DEPUTY DIRECTOR 40.0 0.0 X 160254 0 22846 TAMARA MUZAC CHIEF ADMINISTRATIVE OFFICER 40.0 0.0 X 138323 0 12134 DA'LANA WALKER SENIOR PROGRAM DIRECTOR 40.0 0.0 X 127867 0 18870 ROBERT SKILLMAN SENIOR PROGRAM DIRECTOR 40.0 0.0 X 105956 0 20812 ALEX LOPEZ SENIOR PROGRAM DIRECTOR 40.0 0.0 X 108972 0 17411 DEANNA PORRAS SENIOR PROGRAM MANAGER 40.0 0.0 X 100448 0 18740 ANNE FREIERMUTH BOARD MEMBER/TREASURER 2/2023 1.0 0.0 X X 0 0 0 TONY GINGISS BOARD MEMBER 1.0 0.0 X 0 0 0 BRYAN LEROY BOARD MEMBER 1.0 0.0 X 0 0 0 DANA S TREISTER ESQ CHAIR 1.0 0.0 X X 0 0 0 CAROLINE WITTCOFF BOARD MEMBER 1.0 0.0 X 0 0 0 DAWN WILSON VICE CHAIR 1.0 0.0 X X 0 0 0 NICOLO RUSCONI BOARD MEMBER 1.0 0.0 X 0 0 0 ALBERT CHAVEZ BOARD MEMBER 1.0 0.0 X 0 0 0 SAMANTHA MARTINEZ VICE CHAIR 1.0 0.0 X X 0 0 0 MERCEDES MORTON ESQ BOARD MEMBER 1.0 0.0 X 0 0 0 TOM EISENHAUER BOARD MEMBER & TREASURER 1.0 0.0 X X 0 0 0 FRANK LOPEZ SECRETARY 1.0 0.0 X X 0 0 0 JAY BELL BOARD MEMBER UNTIL 03/2023 1.0 0.0 X 0 0 0 KECIA WASHINGTON BOARD MEMBER 1.0 0.0 X 0 0 0 SIMBOA WRIGHT BOARD MEMBER 1.0 0.0 X 0 0 0 ROSALIE BARCINAS BOARD MEMBER 1.0 0.0 X 0 0 0 JASSON CROCKETT BOARD MEMBER 1.0 0.0 X 0 0 0 BECKY WARREN BOARD MEMBER 1.0 0.0 X 0 0 0 1146483 0 140250 8 false true false JOINT APPRENTICESHIP TRUST PO BOX 3160 ONTARIO CA 91761 TRAINING 127703 1 300955 23577512 931276 5085 24809743 CONSERVATION CONTRACTS 900099 1583971 1583971 RECYCLING FEES 900099 83954 83954 1667925 47883 47883 0 0 207140 183766 23374 0 23374 23374 24327 11195 13132 13132 13132 8931 300955 8931 0 0 0 0 0 0 OTHER INCOME 900099 46935 46935 46935 26608992 1667925 131324 0 16835 16835 0 0 887260 343288 522403 21569 0 15780573 14250821 1518793 10959 0 1148042 937365 210515 162 1257404 1141095 115520 789 0 0 95609 95609 0 0 0 848518 655579 187189 5750 0 351849 257305 91982 2562 241542 26826 214716 0 278710 236806 41224 680 63312 52492 10820 0 0 237603 32803 204800 0 684487 280093 404394 0 667841 360512 307329 WORK PROGRAM MATERIALS 1634911 1628065 5448 1398 WORKERS COMPENSATION 885918 874389 11463 66 TRANSPORTATION 765653 765166 487 SUPPORT SERVICES 266614 215225 51389 586956 178325 388961 19670 26699637 22252990 4383042 63605 1904126 2046596 3005848 1959363 139034 104984 8032328 8355663 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 268762 187014 11613340 7485645 5077846 4127695 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 8472 538289 18436416 17319604 2234261 2374261 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 2312932 2554599 1845277 1200493 1411705 648655 7804175 6778008 X 10033954 10129022 598287 412574 10632241 10541596 18436416 17319604 -90645 X false true X true true true X 19102322 19166485 18338143 23149594 24809743 104566287 0 454747 500330 559318 559666 595666 2669727 19557069 19666815 18897461 23709260 25405409 107236014 0 107236014 6577 9900 207684 208346 225023 657530 0 172494 105235 164174 121381 46935 610219 108503763 9078726 0.98832 0.98999 X RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED 4303156 2367785 1935371 4609107 2707106 1902001 775120 653146 121974 1925957 1757608 168349 4127695 0 CAPITAL LEASE 0 ADVANCES ON CONTRACTS 81840 LEASE LIABILITIES 566815 648655 X 27500029 707271 707271 26792758 -183766 -183766 26608992 27590674 707271 183766 891037 26699637 26699637 SCHEDULE D, PART X, LINE 2 IN ACCORDANCE WITH FINANCIAL ACCOUNTING STANDARDS BOARD (FASB) ACCOUNTING STANDARDS CODIFICATION (ASC) TOPIC NO. 740, UNCERTAINTY IN INCOME TAXES (ASC 740), THE ORGANIZATION RECOGNIZES THE IMPACT OF TAX POSITIONS IN THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS IF THAT POSITION IS MORE LIKELY THAN NOT TO BE SUSTAINED ON AUDIT, BASED ON THE TECHNICAL MERITS OF THE POSITION.
