WE BELIEVE OUR PUBLIC SCHOOLS CAN SERVE AS POWERFUL HUBS FOR BRINGING NEIGHBORHOODS, FAMILIES AND STUDENTS TOGETHER TO ACHIEVE POSITIVE CHANGE. 0 0 46974 YOUTH & PARENT LEADERSHIP PROGRAMS: YOUTH LEADERSHIP IS DONE THROUGH SEVERAL PROGRAMS INCLUDING THE AMBASSADORS PROGRAM AT EASTSIDE HS AND THE JUST KEEP LIVIN' AFTER SCHOOL PROGRAM AT NORTHEAST AND AKINS. YOUTH LEADERS HAVE ENGAGED ON A VARIETY OF ISSUES IN PUBLIC MEETINGS AND HAVE HOSTED SCHOOL BOARD CANDIDATE FORUMS. AUSTIN VOICES ALSO SPONSORS YOUTH LEADERSHIP EVENTS, SUCH AS THE RECENT YOUTH EQUITY SUMMIT AT DOBIE MIDDLE SCHOOL. PARENT AND COMMUNITY LEADERS ARE ALSO TRAINED AS COMMUNITY BLOCK LEADER AND PROMOTORA PROGRAM, WHICH OFFERS TIME EACH WEEK TO ENGAGE VIRTUALLY IN TRAINING AND NETWORKING SESSIONS. OVER 100 PARENTS TOOK PART IN THE CBL AND PROMOTORA PROGRAM IN 2021. IN 2021-2022, AUSTIN VOICES RECEIVED A $1 MILLION FEDERAL GRANT TO TRAIN COMMUNITY HEALTH WORKERS. 115618 COMMUNITY SCHOOLS: AVEY WORKS WITH COMMUNITY STAKEHOLDERS, INCLUDING STUDENTS, TACHERS/STAFF, PARENTS AND COMMUNITY MEMBERS TO SUPPORT GREAT EDUCATION FOR ALL CHILDREN. EFFORTS INCLUDE COMMUNITY-BASED STRATEGIC PLANNING AND PARTNER DEVELOPMENT. AUSTIN VOICES HAS PARTNERED WITH AUSTIN ISD TO CREATE TWO HIGH-FUNCTIONING COMMUNITY SCHOOLS AT WEBB MIDDLE SCHOOL AND REAGAN EARLY COLLEGE HIGH SCHOOL. BOTH CAMPUSES WERE ON THE VERGE OF CLOSURE IN 2007-2008, BUT HAVE NOW MADE NATIONALLY-RECOGNIZED TURNAROUNDS USING COMMUNITY SCHOOL STRATEGIES. CURRENTLY, AUSTIN VOICES IS WORKING WITH 21 CAMPUSES TO SUPPORT COMMUNITY SCHOOL DEVELOPMENT AND PRIORITIES. 999531 13687 490464 FAMILY RESOURCE CENTERS: THE FIRST FAMILY RESOURCE CENTER WAS FOUNDED IN 2007 TO PROVIDE A SCHOOL-BASED CENTER TO OFFER PROFESSIONAL WRAPAROUND SERVICES TO FAMILIES IN CRISIS. CURRENTLY, AVEY HAS SEVEN FAMILY RESOURCE CENTERS (BURNET, DOBIE, MARTIN,AND WEB MIDDLE SCHOOLS, HOUSTON ELEMENTARY SCHOOL, AND NAVARRO EARLY COLLEGE AND NORTHEAST EARLY COLLEGE HIGH SCHOOL). THE FRCS ARE A "ONE-STOP SHOP" FOR FAMILIES FACING THE CHALLENGES OF POVERTY, OFFERING THE EMPLOYMENT, HOUSING, HEALTH, COUNSELING, AND BASIC NEEDS ASSISTANCE, WITH THE GOAL OF FAMILY STABILITY AND SUCCESS. EACH FRC HAS A LICENSED BILINGUAL SOCIAL WORKER, AND MOST OF THE FRC HAVE A FULL-TIME DIRECTOR. AVEY'S FRCS HAVE, OVER THE PAST FIFTEEN YEARS HELPED CAMPUSES IMPROVE ATTENDANCE AND ACADEMIC PERFORMANCE BY HELPING STUDENTS FOCUS ON NEEDS AT SCHOOL RATHER THAN AT HOME. AVEY ALSO OPERATES AN ADULT ACADEMY ACCROSS ITS COMMUNITY SCHOOLS, OFFERING BOTH IN-PERSON AND VIRTUAL CLASSES IN PARTNERSHIP WITH MORE THAN A DOZEN AGENCIES. PARENTS ARE ABLE TO TAKE CLASSES, BOTH DURING THE DAY AND IN THE EVENING, TO IMPROVE THEIR SKILLS FOR EMPLOYMENT AND PARENTING. "THE RIGHT QUESTION PROJECT" IS A SIGANTURE OF AVEY'S PARENT LEADERSHIP PROGRAMS THAT HELPS PARENTS SUPPORT, MONITOR, AND ADVOCATE FOR THEIR CHILD(REN) IN SCHOOL. OVER THE PAST YEAR, OVER 18,324 PARTICIPANTS HAVE RECEIVED FRC WRAPAROUND SERVICES, INCLUDING HOUSING, UTILITY ASSISTANCE, FOOD, HEALTHCARE ACCESS, EMPLOYMENT SERVICES AND MORE. THE RESULTS HAVE BEEN AMAZING. STUDENT MOBILITY, WHICH WAS AS HIGH AS 42% ON SOME FRC CAMPUSES, HAS BEEN SIGNIFICANTLY DECREASED AS HIGH-RISK FAMILIES ARE STABILIZED AND PARENTS BECOME MORE CONNECTED TO THEIR SCHOOLS. THIS HAS LED TO SIGNIFICANT ACADEMIC IMPROVEMENT, WITH WEBB MIDDLE SCHOOL AND REAGAN (NOW NORTHEAST) EARLY COLLEGE HIGH SCHOOL EXPERIENCING STRONG TURNAROUNDS. WEBB, WHICH WAS AISD'S LOWEST-PERFORMING MIDDLE SCHOOL IN 2007, BECAME AISD'S HIGHEST-PERFORMING TITLE 1 MIDDLE SCHOOL FOR A DECADE. REAGAN/NORTHEAST'S IMPROVEMENT HAS BEEN SIMILAR, WITH THE GRADUATION RATE INCREASING FROM 48% TO 99% IN SEVEN YEARS. WHILE BOTH SCHOOLS HAVE EXPERIENCED UPS AND DOWNS IN PERFORMANCE DUE TO BUDGET CUTS AND THE EFFECTS OF THE COVID-19 PANDEMIC, THEY ALSO HAVE RESILIENT FAMILY AND STUDENT SUPPORT SYSTEMS THAT ARE KEEPING FAMILIES STABLE AND SUPPORTING CONTINUED ACADEMIC IMPROVEMENT. 800265 13738 OTHER PROGRAMS INCLUDE: COMMUNITY CONVERSATIONS, VERTICLE TEAMS, AND SAVE TEXAS SCHOOLS. 800265 13738 1962388 1 1 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 1 0 0 0 0 0 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 X 7 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 1 1 0 0 0 1 1 1 0 TX X X ALLEN WEEKS EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR 5124146822 5221 LEDESMA ROAD AUSTIN TX 78721 X CHRYS DOUGHERTY BOARD CHAIR 4.00 X X 0 0 0 BEVERLY HARRIS BOARD VICE CHAIR 4.00 X X 0 0 0 ZACH PRICE BOARD SECRETARY 4.00 X X 0 0 0 LINDA BATTLES BOARD MEMBER 4.00 X 0 0 0 MONTSERRAT GARIBAY BOARD MEMBER 4.00 X 0 0 0 DR JAY MCCULLAR BOARD MEMBER 4.00 X 0 0 0 ARA MERJANIAN PRIOR BOARD CHAIR 4.00 X 0 0 0 TAMEY WILLIAMS-HILL BOARD MEMBER 4.00 X 0 0 0 JON DAVID SAUCEDO BOARD MEMBER 4.00 X 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 3674225 3674225 490464 490464 490464 0 19112 -19112 -19112 4145577 490464 0 -19112 27425 27425 1679139 1544808 134331 24000 24000 31886 31886 173419 166482 6937 33416 33416 PROJECT SUPPLIES 190503 190503 OTHER EXPENSES 145876 145876 CONTRACT PERSONNEL 114378 33170 81208 2420042 1962388 457654 0 290826 1609907 143089 312605 145592 3646 11147 63156 55052 8105 8104 445666 2087355 137626 95030 42250 1000 179876 96030 X 243590 1969325 22200 22000 265790 1991325 445666 2087355 1725535 0 X 0 1 X 0 0 X 791711 738630 980637 403263 3674225 6588466 795256 1361197 917771 1170044 490464 4734732 1586967 2099827 1898408 1573307 4164689 11323198 0 0 0 11323198 1073 411729 412802 1586967 2099827 1899481 1985036 4164689 11736000 0.96480 0.95380 0.00000 X RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED 63156 55052 8104 8104 0 CASH RENT AND UTILITY ASSISTANCE 30 27425 FORM 990, PART VI, SECTION B, LINE 11B RETURN IS REVIEWED BY EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR AND DIRECTOR OF OPERATIONS AND FINANCE AND MADE AVAILABLE TO THE BOARD.
