We believe that every child deserves family and are committed to increasing the number of teens who find adoptive families or develop what become lifelong relationships with other supportive adults. 0 0 197528 0 0 Family and Youth Initiative helps teens in foster care find adoptive families and develop lasting connections with other caring adults. Monthly program events bring together teens and adults to form relationships. We recruit and train volunteer mentors, host families, Committed Community Members, and event drivers; participating adoptive families complete their training and home study with a partner agency. We match teens and adults based on relationships that start at events. Adult volunteers make a specific commitment to length and intensity of time they will spend with teen once matched. Youth who age out of foster care continue to participate with DCFYI and keep their connections for as long as they want. Every participating teen or young adult develops at least one meaningful and lasting relationship with a caring adult. 31348 0 0 Family and Youth Initiative is supporting a dedicated group of Lived Experts (young people with the lived experience of being or having been in DC foster care) who are creating a new and innovative permanency option for older youth who are in foster care. The Lived Experts are designing the "SOUL" permanency option in conjunction with professional partners, primarily at DC Child and Family Services Agency, the office of the DC Attorney General, and Children's Law Center. They are proud of having been able to use their experience and voice to create a better path out of foster care for other youth now and into the future. We are proud to be supporting them (and the other agencies) in this work. 43290 0 0 In the Open Table program, we recruit, train, and match six to eight volunteers with one young adult who has aged out of foster care. Tables build relationships with the young person (or "Friend") and support them in achieving whatever goal/s they set for themselves. Tables meet weekly for a year. Some Friends and volunteers continue in their relationships after the formal Table year ends. 9035 0 0 The Fund for Critical Youth Needs is used to ensure DCFYI youth are able to cover critical needs like housing, transportation, medications, and/or job-related expenses (including clothing and transportation until they receive a first paycheck. 9035 0 0 281201 1 1 0 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 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 5 0 1 9 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 X 12 11 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 0 CA CT DC FL GA HI IL MA MD ME NJ NY OH PA TX VA WA WI X Susan Punnett 2028630975 853 New Jersey Avenue SE Ste 200 Washington DC 20003 Susan Punnett Executive Director 40 0 X X 65000 0 0 Schylar Baber Director 1 0 X 0 0 0 Marcela Monti Director 1 0 X 0 0 0 Caleb Piatt Director and Treasurer 1 0 X X 0 0 0 Michele Reed Director and Chair 1 0 X X 0 0 0 Lindsay Clark Director 1 0 X 0 0 0 Tanya Wedderburn Director 1 0 X 0 0 0 Kevin Xu Director and Secretary 1 0 X X 0 0 0 Benjamin Willis Director 1 0 X 0 0 0 Wendy Harman Director 1 0 X 0 0 0 Aaron Warren Director 1 0 X 0 0 0 Christina Wentworth Director 1 0 X 0 0 0 Spencer Dunham Director 1 0 X 0 0 0 65000 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 53900 0 0 396895 0 450795 0 1560 1560 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 23465 53900 5281 18184 0 18184 0 470539 1560 0 18184 65000 46436 2310 16254 187631 134044 6669 46918 15313 10889 551 3873 21879 15558 787 5534 3798 0 0 3798 8634 2867 4747 1020 17074 11157 323 5594 370 0 370 0 1973 1139 22 812 7661 5708 243 1710 19933 14175 716 5042 231 71 0 160 300 300 0 0 9375 6667 337 2371 Program Expenditures - Fund For Critical Needs 9035 9035 0 0 Program Expenditures - Program Events 6711 6711 0 0 Program Expenditures - SOUL Family 5611 5611 0 0 Program Expenditures - Volunteer Training 2450 2450 0 0 27569 8383 628 18558 410548 281201 17703 111644 182427 19526 0 191683 3975 30384 7330 11762 19328 19328 0 0 193732 253355 943 575 943 575 X 192789 225102 0 27678 192789 252780 193732 253355 59991 0 0 0 0 0 X X 1 X 0 1 0 X 249212 296007 336870 313189 468979 1664257 249212 296007 336870 313189 468979 1664257 1664257 78 85 84 214 1560 2021 1666278 0.99879 0.99959 X RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 3511 0 3511 0 15817 0 15817 0 0 Fundraiser Gala 77365 53900 23465 0 0 0 0 0 5281 0 0 77365 53900 23465 0 0 0 0 0 5281 5281 18184 Form 990, Header, Line B The Basis of Accounting should have been Accrual, so this is changed.
