SIBLING BONDS, ESPECIALLY IN THOSE KIDS WHO HAVE FACED TRAUMA, ARE SOME OF THE MOST IMPORTANT BONDS IN THEIR LIVES. SIB-LINK EXISTS TO KEEP THIS CONNECTION STRONG AND REDUCE FURTHER TRAUMA BY PROVIDING ADDITIONAL REGULAR VISITS FOR THESE CHILDREN. 65885 LIFE SUPPORT: STATISTICS FOR TEENS WHO AGE OUT OF FOSTER CARE ARE BLEAK. WE BELIEVE OUR COMMUNITY CAN REVERSE THESE BLEAK STATISTICS BY MATCHING TEENS WITH ADULT MENTORS TO PROVIDE ONGOING EMOTIONAL SUPPORT AND GUIDANCE. LIFE SUPPORT MENTORS COMMIT TO VISITING A YOUTH IN FOSTER CARE TWICE PER MONTH, AND THIS IS OFTEN A MULTI-YEAR COMMITMENT. MENTORS ACTIVELY LISTEN TO HOPES, FEARS, AND DREAMS. THEY BECOME AN IMPORTANT PART OF THE CHILD'S JOURNEY TOWARDS BETTER OUTCOMES. 105406 ASPIRE: WHEN YOUTH AGE OUT OF FOSTER CARE, THERE ARE SIGNIFICANT CHALLENGES. THEY ARE OFTEN ON THEIR OWN, LACKING FAMILY SUPPORT FOR THEIR JOURNEY. MANY STUDENTS WORK TO SUPPORT THEMSELVES, AND IF THEY ATTEND COLLEGE, THEY ARE LIVING PAYCHECK TO PAYCHECK AND HAVE EXCESSIVE FINANCIAL PRESSURE. THE ADDED FINANCIAL STRESS TO MAINTAIN COLLEGE HOUSING CAN ADD SIGNIFICANT PRESSURE TO THESE YOUTH IN COLLEGE. MANY YOUTH WILL FALL BEHIND IN THEIR ACADEMICS AND LOSE HOPE WITHOUT A CARING AND CONSISTENT ADULT TO ENCOURAGE GOAL-SETTING AND PLANNING FOR NEXT STEPS AFTER HIGH SCHOOL. ASPIRE ENCOURAGES YOUTH TO GRADUATE FROM HIGH SCHOOL AND THEN ATTEND AND EXCEL IN COLLEGE BY PROVIDING ACCOUNTABILITY AND SUPPORT THROUGHOUT THEIR ACADEMIC EXPERIENCE. THROUGH CONSISTENT MEETINGS WITH OUR EDUCATION ADVOCATE AND PEER GATHERINGS FOCUSED ON TEAM-BUILDING, YOUTH BEGIN TO VISUALIZE A FUTURE FOR THEMSELVES. THEY GRADUATE FROM HIGH SCHOOL, APPLY TO COLLEGE PROGRAMS, AND FIND THEIR OWN PATHWAY TO SUCCESS. 172522 9682 172522 9682 504032 1 1 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 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 2 0 14 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 X 7 7 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 0 SC CO X X DAVID WHITE 8645675216 321 PIMLICO ROAD GREENVILLE SC 29607 KELLY SCHEIB CHAIR 4.00 X X 0 0 0 LONNIE DECKER DIRECTOR 3.00 X 0 0 0 AMY KARMILOVICH SECRETARY 3.00 X X 0 0 0 JOE TURNER DIRECTOR 3.00 X 0 0 0 SELDEN PEDEN JD DIRECTOR 3.00 X 0 0 0 PAM PRASHAD TREASURER 3.00 X X 0 0 0 DEJR BOSTICK VICE CHAIR 3.00 X X 0 0 0 DAVID WHITE CEO 50.00 X 58413 0 0 58413 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 20000 109380 50738 633859 813977 LIFE IN LIMBO 624100 7740 7740 LIFE SUPPORT LICENSE 624100 1905 1905 MOMS MATTER 624100 37 37 9682 13799 13799 291490 304961 -13471 -13471 -13471 7575 109380 23090 -15515 -15515 808472 9682 0 -15187 58413 42641 7010 8762 329538 323750 5788 29975 28326 536 1113 1458 1458 7309 7309 5564 4854 110 600 4562 3713 836 13 9136 1207 5778 2151 24330 24046 190 94 6698 4917 1646 135 31373 31373 CLIENT MEETINGS 30930 30925 5 CLIENT MATERIALS 16028 16028 PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMEN 9994 9994 BACKGROUND CHECKS 5102 5102 5684 1220 4464 576094 504032 53401 18661 27972 39828 223845 96702 294265 704550 546082 841080 13242 18009 13242 18009 X 0 0 0 0 532840 823071 532840 823071 546082 841080 232378 57853 0 X 0 0 0 X 339874 438952 517533 523913 813977 2634249 339874 438952 517533 523913 813977 2634249 66310 2567939 1531 857 6378 11674 13799 34239 2668488 37512 0.96230 0.98120 X RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED 576094 576094 111414 27854 0 0 75271 75790 99839 111414 362314 543471 18818 18948 24960 27854 90580 135870 BENEFIT EVENT 116955 109380 7575 1642 13727 7721 116955 109380 7575 1642 13727 7721 23090 -15515 FORM 990, PART VI, SECTION B, LINE 11B THE FULL BOARD IS PROVIDED A COPY OF THE 990 BEFORE FILING.
