Deciding to pause to focus more intently on finding a space (more on that later), we had a standalone summer cohort. The 12 participants, a group of Black and Latinx girls and non-binary femmes, bonded over shared identities as artists during a weekend retreat to the Poconos and 48 hours of restorative programming focused on anti-oppression education (to view overcoming injustice as feasible), community care (to curb responding to harm with more harm), post-secondary readiness (to prepare them to spearhead movement work), and youth-led community engagement (to invest in their freedom dreams now). Beyond talking about these as concepts, we engaged with them as praxis. Each participant received a $912 stipend for learning and growing with us during the summer. On the other side, our Youth Advisory prepped for a July 26th event. Additionally, feeling the weight of constant violence funded by our country, they vowed to do something to with their own platforms. This led to the idea of a fill-a-bag thrift event, and teach-in benefitting countries facing violence. Finally Collective Climb youth had the honor of partnering with organizers from the Restorative Cities Initiative (Philadelphia), the National Council of Elders (national), Y-VAC (Detroit-based), Dynamic Justice Collective (Philadelphia), and YASP (Philadelphia) for a 3 day intergenerational gathering which had over 40 attendees, 176650 105000 0 Our Restorative Justice Diversion Program carries us across the seasons. In 2024, we reached 32 youth (with 18 on track for expungement and 12 on track for program completion in 2025) and consistently provided 1:1 programming while also supporting families and persons harmed with resources. (Note: We increased pipelines to therapists, including the practices of Full Being Services, Melanated Women's Health, and Melanated Healing-a cost we can cover for 12 sessions per youth). To increase pro-social programmatic experiences. for youth, we made referrals to the Niche Clinic, the ASPCA, Philadelphia Youth Basketball, and Dr. Chantel Price's Go Hard or Go Home Cosmetology Program. Simultaneously, we began our partnership with Dr. Noor Toraif of Boston University School of Social Work to do retrospective research on the success of our diversion program to date (which maintains an all-time recidivism rate of 5%). This will inform a future longitudinal study that seeks to answer: How does RJ based diversion impact youth's psychological outcomes? How does RJ based diversion impact youth's social outcomes? How do restorative justice processes shape community perceptions of youth with criminal legal system contact, and the criminal legal system more broadly? 0 0 0 312391 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 1 1 0 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 1 27 0 4 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 X 8 6 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 0 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 0 PA X Kwaku Owusu 6318382752 5541 Florence Avenue Philadelphia PA 19143 Mckayla Warwick Executive Director 45.00 0 X X 69713 0 0 Kwaku Owusu Finance Director 45 0 X X 69320 0 0 Lisa Varon Director 1 0 X 0 0 0 Meagan Corrado Director 1 0 X 0 0 0 Mack Finkel Treasurer 1 0 X 0 0 0 Evan Haine-Roberts Secretary 1 0 X 0 0 0 Richard Lynn Director 1 X 0 0 0 Jessica Gooding President 1 X 0 0 0 139033 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 392142 0 392142 0 0 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 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 Loss on disposal of asset (a bus) 624110 -3632 -3632 0 0 0 0 0 0 -3632 388511 -3631 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 146560 100962 45598 0 0 0 0 0 129955 100218 29737 0 2710 0 2710 0 4570 0 4570 0 20534 0 20534 0 12477 0 12477 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 5000 5000 0 0 0 0 28855 28855 0 0 1922 0 1922 0 8859 1434 6888 537 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 14593 10178 4415 0 17269 17269 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 2042 1021 1021 0 3392 0 3392 0 Youth Participation Stipends 27541 27541 0 0 Food and meals 20519 19774 676 69 Other Expenses 8580 5139 1786 1655 455378 312391 135726 7261 528758 477525 0 0 86100 73367 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1788 3608 8167 7220 6621 947 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 62453 623267 617900 12274 15121 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 58653 12274 73774 X 261100 443449 349893 100677 610993 544126 623267 617900 -66867 0 0 0 0 X 1 X 1 X 1 0 X 3 138326 584946 492658 392142 1608075 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 3 138326 584946 492658 392142 1608075 0 1608075 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1608076 0 X RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 8167 0 7220 947 0 0 0 0 947 Operating Lease Right-of-Use Asset 62453 62453 0 Operating Lease Liability 58653 58653 388511 0 0 0 0 0 388511 0 0 0 388511 455378 0 0 0 0 0 455378 0 0 0 455378 Form 990, Part VI, Section B, Line 11b The form 990 is brought to our board which independently reviews the document and provides any edits or questions about the content provided. Another round of edits is made and finally our board is able to confirm its completion once this process is done. Form 990, Part VI, Section B, Line 12c We leave space during quarterly board meetings to proactively address conflicts. It is required that each board member remove themselves from any vote or decision in which they are a conflicted party. Form 990, Part VI, Section B, Line 15 - In 2024, our finance committee created salaries for our Executive Director, Finance Director, Creative Director, and Diversion Coordinator based on similar positions with nonprofits in the city Philadelphia. Our board then deliberated and discussed these salaries. This information was then sent to our accountant who gave approval based on his knowledge of similar organizations and was then brought to the board in a full vote and confirmed. Form 990, Part VI, Section C, Line 19 These documents are provided both on request, online through the IRS portal, and accessible on the financials section of our organization's website. Our organization was waiting for our independent auditor to complete their audit before we filed the form 990. We made sure to file for the 6 month extension as well.
