Using a design-thinking-infused approach, campers are empowered to explore their community, collaborate with adult leaders, imaginatively problem-solve with their friends, and prototype ideas with TomTod's staff. All TomTod camps connect middle schoolers deeply with their community by hosting camps in collaborative spaces with partnering organizations (such as park systems, universities, art galleries, and business owners). During TomTod camps, middle schoolers develop friendships, have fun, and make memories while growing essential skills. Every TomTod camp ends with a celebration of the campers' discoveries and creations with community members, friends, and families. 209435 0 128119 Classes: TomTod's school-based classes guide students through TomTod's community-centered design thinking process to explore and create ideas for their community. Through twelve weekly sessions offered over the course of a school semester, TomTod staff and partnering educators lead students through community projects tailored to each community that complement middle school learning standards. TomTod's classes center on student voice and focus on growing students' critical thinking, communication, collaboration, and creative problem-solving skills. The goal of each TomTod class is for middle schoolers to use their newly acquired community knowledge and skills to formulate ideas that serve others. TomTod classes take the best of project-based, problem-based, place-based, and passion-based learning in ways that unlock middle schoolers' innate creativity and altruism. 30809 0 90700 Collabs: Outside of direct service, TomTod collaborates to provide curriculum, professional development, training, and more. Community Idea Quests connect our in-house-developed curriculum to specific communities, empowering partners to bring TomTod programming into their own schools with support from TomTod staff. These collaborative programs provide partners with a contextualized, developmentally-aligned curriculum as well as technical support through professional development, team training, and program monitoring and evaluation. TomTod also offers on-demand training for educators, youth development professionals, and community partners, sharing expertise in early adolescence best practices, covering a variety of topics including curriculum development, program design, pedagogical approaches, and continuous improvement models. Partners have included school districts, educational service centers, youth development organizations, out-of-school-time collaboratives, libraries, and more. 0 0 0 516552 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 1 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 3 0 1 20 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 X 10 9 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 1 0 1 0 0 1 0 0 OH X X X Colleen Carl 3306174753 439 Market Ave N Canton OH 44702 Joel Daniel Harris Executive Director/Board Member 40 0 X 68128 0 1521 Matt Sutter Board President 1 0 X X 0 0 0 Stephon Brown Board Vice President 1 0 X X 0 0 0 Rod Moore Board Secretary 1 0 X X 0 0 0 Chad Sinkovich Board Treasurer 1 0 X X 0 0 0 Keith Arner Board Member 1 0 X 0 0 0 John Abbott Board Member 1 0 X 0 0 0 Teresa Hogan Board Member 1 0 X 0 0 0 Susan Marazza Board Member 1 0 X 0 0 0 Latasha Ellis Board Member 1 0 X 0 0 0 68128 0 1521 0 0 0 0 0 3065 0 49461 0 0 326014 12682 378540 Programmatic 611110 379332 379332 0 0 0 0 0 0 379332 4127 0 0 4127 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 4000 0 4606 0 -606 -606 0 0 -606 4950 49461 11026 -6076 0 -6076 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 755317 379332 0 -2555 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 73781 51647 14756 7378 0 0 0 0 380738 331931 37325 11482 10763 8926 1404 433 0 0 0 0 32555 28382 3191 982 14000 9800 2800 1400 0 0 0 0 9183 0 9183 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1390 0 1390 0 0 0 0 0 10057 2088 6769 1200 2258 1836 308 114 0 0 0 0 10200 7344 2346 510 10492 10492 0 0 0 0 2957 2957 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 583 0 583 0 4622 2577 1844 201 Employee Health Insurance 21964 18070 3328 566 Fundraising 21805 0 0 21805 Camp What If 19772 19772 0 0 Professional Development 13144 8018 4600 526 15324 12712 2222 390 655588 516552 92049 46987 14451 17450 79827 51173 0 0 63970 67586 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 4500 150 1040 4350 0 50301 0 0 0 0 161884 201703 321172 392563 4636 4989 0 0 73679 31807 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 78315 36796 X 242857 334526 0 21241 242857 355767 321172 392563 X 99729 13181 0 0 0 0 X X 0 0 0 X 139144 148317 317331 294272 378540 1277604 139826 221506 246165 315301 379332 1302130 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 12000 12000 278970 369823 563496 609573 769872 2591734 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 2591734 1292 608 736 2757 4127 9520 0 0 0 0 0 0 1292 608 736 2757 4127 9520 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 741 0 741 280262 370431 564232 613071 773999 2601995 0.99606 0.9965 0.00366 0.0032 X Schedule A, Part III, Line 12 Credit card cash back rewards RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 4500 150 4350 0 0 0 0 4350 Beneficial Interest in Stark Community Foundation Endowment 201703 201703 Feast of Ideas 54411 49461 4950 0 0 1080 9946 0 0 0 0 54411 49461 4950 0 0 1080 9946 0 0 11026 -6076 Form 990, Part VI, Section A, Line 8b TomTod Ideas does not have any committee with an authority to act as the board.
