The cornerstone of our program is CHAMPS Community-Based program where we provide extra-curricular programming with a focus on mentoring. These session now take place at three different sites some on weeknights and one sight on Saturdays. Sessions are aligned to the 3Es: Education Empowerment and Exposure. We bring in speakers provide social-emotional learning support take trips perform community service and expose young men to new experiences. While no two Saturdays are the same we do work in cycles so that activities reinforce one another over time. Saturdays are where mentors are able to engage with and interact with our young men. Below is a description of how our program operates based on the three pillars. Exposure - Exposure is a critical element of CHAMPS programming. We increase opportunities for our Boys and Young Men of Color to experience a diverse range of activities and broaden their perspective. Throughout the year we plan trips and attend community events to expose students to different areas of the city needs in the community new opportunities and new experiences. For example this fall we spent a day at Iron Oaks for team-building experience on a high ropes course and challenging students and mentors to step out of their comfort zones. We are also attending the National Association of Black Journalists College and Career Fair this month and planning a trip to Top Golf in December. In addition to these monthly trips we create opportunities for students to leave the city and state and country. Education - We draw on historical and contemporary African-American & Latino culture to establish a positive foundation of identity and instill a value for lifelong learning. Most Saturdays we devote time to small group circles with culturally relevant and age-appropriate topics of conversation. These circles may involve reading as a prompt or straight dialogue but it is time devoted providing social-emotional awareness skills and development on a consistent basis. We also invite in members of the Chicago Police Department several times each year to deliver Law and the Community curriculum and create lines of communication between the youth and police. Empowerment - We equip Boys and Young Men of Color to lead communicate and engage in activities that catalyze the growth and development of their manhood ultimately sustaining their families and communities. We bring in speakers to engage in narrative therapy so that youth can learn how to tell their own stories and witness examples of men who did not allow their mistakes to define them. We also incorporate sports and other activities to foster positive relationships between peers and to provide time and space for them to be kids and have fun. Finally we schedule community service opportunities t 0 0 0 Our CHAMPS Summer program provides employment opportunities for youth career training and exposure trips. We provide a variety of career-exposure oriented classes we take weekly trips and we host our annual Born 2 Win Conference for a full day of male empowerment and workshops. We also host basketball tournaments. 0 0 0 We are partnering with high schools and middle schools to provide SEL support to young men who are struggling in school. Many schools and nearby districts have reached out over the last few months as funding has become available and they are realizing the intense needs of their students following the pandemic. CHAMPS is currently working in three schools and in negotiations with several more to establish regular programming structures. In addition to student support CHAMPS will be providing PD and parent workshops at several schools to help school staff and parents better support their young men. 0 0 0 0 true false false false false false false false false false true false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false true false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false true 33 0 2 true false false false false false false false 0 false false false false false false false 6 6 false false false false false false false true true false false false false false false false false false IL X Vondale Singleton 4123341769 8118 S Prairie Ave Unit B Chicago IL 60619 Vondale Singleton CEO 45.00 0.00 X X 77000 0 0 Christian Terry Program Director 35.00 0.00 X 55100 0 0 132100 0 0 0 false false false 0 0 0 0 825946 267708 0 1093654 School Contract Revenue 99000 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 99000 67 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 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 627 0 627 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1193348 0 0 0 0 0 15296 0 0 0 0 0 132100 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 287391 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 10106 0 0 0 15000 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 15000 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 79620 0 0 0 7659 0 0 0 123 0 0 0 23038 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 4993 0 0 0 68611 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 760 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 14815 0 0 0 10276 0 0 0 Food 52852 0 0 0 Materials & Supplies 67190 0 0 0 Events & Activities 92471 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 3855 0 0 0 901156 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 261736 546477 0 0 0 0 150506 170118 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 2333 1987 98890 15018 98687 83872 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 513262 802454 3000 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 3000 0 X 0 0 0 0 510262 802454 510262 802454 513262 802454 292192 0 0 0 0 0 X X false false false X 0 395333 734558 826144 1093604 3049639 0 15600 93750 180452 99627 389429 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 410933 828308 1006596 1193231 3439068 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 3439068 0 0 0 10 67 77 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 10 67 77 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 19000 0 0 0 19000 0 429933 828308 1006606 1193298 3458145 X Part III - Line 12 | Year:, Amount:, Description:| 2021, 19000Speaking Engagement Honorariums| 98890 15018 83872 83872 true Tuition Scholarships 6 5600 0 Cash N A Emergency Assistance grants 26 9696 0 Cash N A Part VI, Line 11b A PDF version will be sent via email to Board Chair Board Accountant and CEO to be shared with remaining board members.

Part XII, Line 1 Last year we checked cash which I believe was inaccurate. While many of our transactions are cash-based we do record grant income when we the reimbursement requests are sent as a receivable so we have always been accrual-based. I believe I had that characterized incorrectly in the past.
