SINCE 2003, THE SHADOW PROJECT HAS SUPPORTED OVER 19,000 STUDENTS IMPACTED BY AUTISM, ADHD, (CONTINUED ON SCHEDULE O) DYSLEXIA AND OTHER LEARNING CHALLENGES TO IMPROVE THEIR READING SKILLS, BUILD SELF-CONFIDENCE, AND SHATTER MYTHS ABOUT WHAT PEOPLE WITH DISABILITIES ARE CAPABLE OF. STUDENTS IN THE SHADOW PROJECT HAVE GONE ON TO BECOME CLASSROOM LEADERS, READING CHAMPIONS, AND THE FIRST IN THEIR FAMILY TO GRADUATE HIGH SCHOOL. 0 0 455853 34000 THE SHADOW PROJECT EXISTS TO MAKE LEARNING MORE ACCESSIBLE AND ENGAGING FOR CHILDREN WITH DISABILITIES, SO THEY CAN ACHIEVE THEIR FULL POTENTIAL. WE WORK WITH SPECIAL EDUCATION TEACHERS TO ACCELERATE ACHIEVEMENT AND FOSTER AUTONOMY FOR STUDENTS WHO ARE AFFECTED BY LEARNING CHALLENGES SUCH AS DYSLEXIA, ADHD, AUTISM AND TRAUMA. SINCE 2003, WE HAVE HELPED MORE THAN 19,000 OF OUR COMMUNITY'S MOST PERVASIVELY UNDERSERVED STUDENTS TO DEVELOP ESSENTIAL SKILLS FOR SCHOOL AND LIFE SUCCESS, INCLUDING GOAL-SETTING, PERSEVERANCE AND POSITIVE READING HABITS. MORE THAN HALF OF THESE STUDENTS ARE FACING INTERSECTIONAL BARRIERS TO SUCCESS FROM RACISM, ABLEISM, AND OTHER STIGMATIZING FORMS OF OPPRESSION. SHADOW PROJECT'S VISION IS AN EDUCATIONAL SYSTEM THAT NORMALIZES AND CELEBRATES LEARNING DIFFERENCE, AND SUPPORTS EVERY STUDENT TO THRIVE IN SCHOOL. (CONTINUED ON SCHEDULE O) OUR ORGANIZATION PROVIDES EVIDENCE-BASED TOOLS AND STRATEGIES TAILORED TO THE NEEDS OF STUDENTS WITH LEARNING CHALLENGES. WE SUPPORT EDUCATORS IN INTEGRATING THESE REOURCES INTO THEIR CURRICULA AND BUILDING THEIR SKILL SETS FOR PROVIDING A TRAUMA-INFORMED, CULTURALLY RESPONSIVE LEARNING ENVIRONMENT. RECENT ACCOMPLISHMENTS:MANY STUDENTS ARE STILL STRUGGLING TO DEVELOP ACADEMIC & SOCIAL-EMOTIONAL SKILLS THAT WEREN'T SUPPORTED DURING COVID SCHOOL CLOSURES. THIS YEAR SHADOW PROJECT PROGRAMS HELPED 2,360 STUDENTS AT 62 SCHOOLS TO JOYFULLY RE-ENGAGE WITH LEARNING. SHADOW PROJECT MENTORS PROVIDED 260 HOURS OF 1:1 SUPPORT TO STUDENTS READING BELOW GRADE LEVEL, FUELING THEIR CONFIDENCE AND ENGAGEMENT IN SCHOOL. STAFF TRAINED 189 EDUCATORS IN TRAUMA-INFORMED AND EQUITY-CENTERED STRATEGIES TO INTEGRATE SENSORY SPACES IN SCHOOL ROUTINES, AND STUDENTS RECEIVED 9,660 BOOKS, SENSORY TOOLS, AND OTHER EDUCATIONAL MATERIALS. TEACHERS USING OUR PROGRAMS REPORT THE IMPACT OF THESE SUPPORTS: 67% OF STUDENTS INCREASED SELF-MOTIVATION; 67% OF STUDENTS IMPROVE THEIR SKILLS IN MANAGING EMOTIONS; 62% OF STUDENTS SHOWED GREATER ENTHUSIASM FOR READING." GOAL SETTING (1,951 STUDENTS IN 51 SCHOOLS): STUDENTS EARN EDUCATIONAL REINFORCERS (BOOKS, SENSORY TOOLS, SCHOOL/ART/WRITING SUPPLIES) TO CELEBRATE PROGRESS MADE TOWARD ACADEMIC AND BEHAVIORAL GOALS THEY SET FOR THEMSELVES, SUCH AS READING FOR 15 MINUTES A DAY, TURNING IN HOMEWORK, OR IMPROVING ATTENDANCE. THIS TEACHES SELF-SUFFICIENCY, CRITICAL THINKING SKILLS, AND PERSEVERANCE, AND LEADS TO GREATER SOCIAL AND ACADEMIC CONFIDENCE. READING MENTORS (91 STUDENTS IN 9 SCHOOLS): HELPS IMPROVE THE READING SKILLS OF STUDENTS WITH LEARNING CHALLENGES BY PAIRING THEM WITH A CARING ADULT MENTOR WHO COACHES THEM IN THE USE OF A SPECIALIZED ASSISTIVE READING TECHNOLOGY. STUDENTS CAN SEE AND HEAR WORDS AS THEY READ, HELPING THEM BUILD VOCABULARY, COMPREHENSION, AND KNOWLEDGE. MENTORS PROVIDE ENCOURAGEMENT WHEN A STUDENT STUMBLES AND TEACH THEM THAT IT'S OKAY TO ASK FOR HELP. SUPERSENSORY SPACES (57 STUDENTS IN 11 SCHOOLS): DESIGNATED BREAKOUT ROOMS THAT HELP CHILDREN WITH LEARNING CHALLENGES AND TRAUMA DEVELOP SKILLS TO MANAGE THEIR EMOTIONS SO THEY CAN REMAIN CONNECTED TO THEIR CLASSROOMS, EXPERIENCE BELONGING AND INCLUSION AT SCHOOL, AND MOVE TOWARDS MEETING IMPORTANT BENCHMARKS. THE ROOMS HELP STUDENTS REBUILD THEIR SENSE OF SAFETY AND EXERCISE THEIR SOCIAL-EMOTIONAL MUSCLES. 455853 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 10 0 7 1 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 X 11 11 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 0 0 OR X X X SHARON JUENEMANN 9713733457 2154 NE BROADWAY 130 PORTLAND OR 97232 DEDEE WILNER-NUGENT PRESIDENT 2.00 X X 0 0 0 AUSTIN ERIKSON TREASURER 2.00 X X 0 0 0 ELIZABETH KUHN-WILKEN SECRETARY 2.00 X X 0 0 0 BETH GANDARA DIRECTOR 2.00 X 0 0 0 TOM STENSON DIRECTOR 2.00 X 0 0 0 LESLIE WALDMAN DIRECTOR 2.00 X 0 0 0 EMILY HAUSMAN DIRECTOR 2.00 X 0 0 0 AARON BARLIN DIRECTOR 2.00 X 0 0 0 JANAE HAYMOND DIRECTOR 2.00 X 0 0 0 EMILY THAYER HAUSMAN DIRECTOR 2.00 X 0 0 0 RIKKI DREWS DIRECTOR 2.00 X 0 0 0 DEBORAH DOGBA DIRECTOR 2.00 X 0 0 0 CLAIRE BLAYLOCK DIRECTOR 2.00 X 0 0 0 SHARON JUENEMANN EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR 40.00 X 92481 0 0 92481 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 60309 675910 19667 736219 PROGRAM FEES 611710 34000 34000 34000 1011 1011 OTHER REVENUE 900003 2010 2010 2010 773240 34000 0 3021 93322 63803 7243 22276 253569 173362 19680 60527 22639 15478 1757 5404 37202 25435 2887 8880 15660 15660 59513 53017 6496 9052 935 8117 10072 7503 64 2505 10965 9377 794 794 4891 3946 147 798 8529 8529 5364 5364 PROGRAM SUPPLIES 87870 86685 1185 9581 7783 680 1118 628229 455853 61957 110419 129388 100074 272902 251942 1371 202889 6747 41955 53685 1825 1851 37241 29769 16001 7472 15309 4683 485498 622596 15029 17980 15664 4800 30693 22780 X 367985 383933 86820 215883 454805 599816 485498 622596 145011 0 X X 1 X 0 1 0 X 404871 572997 508665 461632 736219 2684384 404871 572997 508665 461632 736219 2684384 497046 2187338 139 90 72 139 1011 1451 3553 4088 2010 9651 2695486 229100 0.81150 0.76580 X RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED 19477 13053 6424 17764 16716 1048 7472 OPERATING LEASE LIABILITIES 4800 4800 X PART X, LINE 2: THE ORGANIZATION FOLLOWS THE PROVISIONS OF FASB ASC TOPIC 740 ACCOUNTING FOR UNCERTAINTY IN INCOME TAXES.
