Through homework help, reading remediation, and math support, students improved 326% in Math Fact Fluency and 280% in Reading Fluency. Students targeted for additional interventions with a Reading Specialist gained an average of 3.5 reading levels by the end of the school year. With four dedicated staff (including at least one bilingual team member) and an average of five volunteers serving at every location each day, student/tutor ratio averaged 2.7:1 during the 1,742 programming hours delivered in FY 24. Every student also engaged in three structured STEM projects totaling 37.5 hours of STEM enrichment. 260380 53608 Adult Education: LaAmistad continues to offer ESL (English for Successful Living) as a core focus of its service to Latino adults. 223 students completed varying levels of English classes with an average final exam grade of 90.4%. In addition to ESL, 12 classes and workshops were delivered in Spanish on digital literacy (150 laptops were given away), financial literacy, insurance and other topics to empower and inform the community. Two major community resource events were also held at the LaAmistad Community Center resulting in 1,063 total adults served in FY 24. 169340 Animate: LaAmistad's Summer Academy served 86 students over five days per week during the month of June to bolster learning and stem the summer slide that greatly affects English language learners. Students demonstrated 70% growth in math and 13% in reading over four weeks based on assessments administered at the beginning and end of camp. While fewer students were served this year due to renovation closures, impressive gains were made as LaAmistad invested in two teachers per classroom during summer 24. Attendance was 93% and 51 interns, counselors and additional staff supported academic and recreational activities that included cultural projects (dance, art), sports (tennis, swimming, soccer), and emotional learning activities every day of programming at our host location, Pace Academy. 151274 1000 Other programs include Birth to Five and Alumni.Birth to Five: LaAmistad's newest initiative served 28 children and 31 parents/caregivers through a curriculum adapted to be responsive (culturally and linguistically) in partnership with clinicians and researchers from the Marcus Autism Center, Emory University, and Children's Healthcare of Atlanta. The evidence-based strategies and interventions were delivered by a bilingual speech-language pathologist and focused on fostering early literacy and communication skills, ensuring bilingual children start school ready to succeed. The innovative program focuses on 1) Motivation & Empowerment: Helping caregivers understand their role in fostering literacy in both Spanish and English; 2) Education & Tools: Equipping parents with strategies to support early language development; 3 )Practical Application: Modeling how caregivers can integrate literacy activities into daily routines; 4) Community Building: Connecting caregivers with others raising children of similar ages; and 5) Highlighting the importance of early screening for potential language/communication delays.Alumni: To track long-term program outcomes and extend its impact on Latino youth, LaAmistad launched an Alumni program for middle and high school students focused on academic support, personal and professional development, and college and career readiness. Highlights included campus tours at Oglethorpe University, Georgia State University and Emory University, a summer ACT prep course, financial literacy workshops, and partnerships with Comcast (career exploration), Big Brothers Big Sisters (mentorship), and 21st Century Leaders (academic acceleration). 114 of 242 active alumni were served through both educational and enrichment opportunities that exposed students to the arts (Fox Theatre), sporting events (Braves and Hawks games), and social gatherings (ice-skating and game nights). Parents were surveyed to determine the areas of greatest need and offerings tailored to stakeholder feedback. 151274 1000 1781251 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 1 1 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 12 0 1 119 1 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 X 11 11 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 0 GA X X X Randy Maner 4048422183 3434 Roswell Road Atlanta GA 303051202 Wilheem Perez Chair 3.00 X X 0 0 0 Nicholas P Smith Vice Chair 2.00 X X 0 0 0 Brendalee Cranman Treasurer 3.00 X X 0 0 0 Paco Trevino Secretary 2.00 X X 0 0 0 Ed Easterlin Board Member 1.00 X 0 0 0 Jeffery Pope Board Member 1.00 X 0 0 0 Polly Van Duser Board Member 1.00 X 0 0 0 Eva Zamarripa Board Member 1.00 X 0 0 0 Laura Gibson-Lamothe Board Member 1.00 X 0 0 0 Marissel Vazquez Board Member 1.00 X 0 0 0 Javier Becerra Board Member 1.00 X 0 0 0 Catrina McAfee Executive Director 40.00 X 105647 0 16297 Randy Maner Finance Director 20.00 X 23553 0 0 129200 0 16297 1 0 0 0 0 145193 30000 2659269 79495 2834462 Program fees 611710 53608 53608 53608 32949 32949 67866 145193 67866 0 Miscellaneous 900099 1000 1000 1000 2922019 54608 0 32949 194836 182169 9941 2726 1095795 1052934 31705 11156 14280 13138 571 571 66516 61194 2661 2661 98781 90879 3951 3951 20046 20046 1075 1075 2280 2280 90340 67755 13551 9034 30843 29698 687 458 73995 55496 11100 7399 41276 24766 8255 8255 Program services, food 203222 203222 Miscellaneous 20980 19058 1922 1954265 1781251 124881 48133 625996 393669 505041 600000 20000 1130184 5159 22290 16629 759432 215859 540950 543573 202942 165004 1917219 2854218 141125 129717 6682 15537 204927 176725 352734 321979 X 1334531 1314752 229954 1217487 1564485 2532239 1917219 2854218 967754 0 X 0 1 X 1 0 X 1354095 1059118 2210739 1166429 2834462 8624843 1354095 1059118 2210739 1166429 2834462 8624843 1844008 6780835 2155 1115 971 17966 32949 55156 2658 74980 1000 78638 8758637 392000 0.77420 0.85330 X RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED 419272 77329 341943 172428 90717 81711 167732 47813 119919 543573 Operating lease right of use asset 165004 165004 Operating lease liability 176725 176725 3390871 468852 468852 2922019 0 2922019 2423117 468852 468852 1954265 0 1954265 Fiesta Gala 213059 145193 67866 25928 20216 8042 13680 213059 145193 67866 25928 20216 8042 13680 67866 0 X 17352 FMV X 10000 FMV X Print materials 1 41656 FMV X Bus wrap 1 6370 FMV X Food 1 4117 FMV 0 0 0 Form 990, Part VI, Section B, line 11b A copy of the draft Form 990 will be sent electronically to the Board for review and questions.
