We have continued to focus our programming to align with the CLIMB A.R.E.A.S. The CLIMB A.R.E.A.S is the center of our programming focusing on Accountability, Resiliency, Empathy, Advocacy, Self-Control. Classes create safe, age-appropriate spaces for students to explore a wealth of common kid-issues. Every topic CLIMB addresses is well researched and learning outcomes are created to uniquely reach each lesson's goals. Our education works with the teachers and staff at each school and customizes the lesson to students' needs. Through games, scenes, discussion, and role-play, students learn about the topic, while also gaining skills in at least one of five core skill areas: empathy, self-control, resiliency, accountability, and advocacy. In the end, students feel empowered to take action to benefit themselves and their community. Plays are research-based and expertly written to achieve maximum artistic impact and specific educational objectives. Similarly, to the classes, plays address a wide array of important topics by teaching students' relevant life skills. Performed in venues from state-of-the-art theatres to basement cafeterias, CLIMB's innovative sets and costumes can be transported anywhere. Prior to each performance, CLIMB e-mails schools supplemental teacher activities and discussion guides and a take-home newsletter for parents. The take-home newsletter describes CLIMB, the play and/or class their children saw, and provides questions parents can ask their children. CLIMB's programming may cover any of the following topics: bullying prevention, drug prevention, handling emotions, taking turns/sharing, cliques/exclusion, cyber safety, acceptance of differences, financial literacy, and environmental issues (aquatic invasive species, recycling, waste reduction, water conservation).Additionally, CLIMB delivered hundreds of hours of community service during and after the expansive civil unrest in Minnesota. Our staff coordinated food deliveries, held community spaces for families and youth to process their feelings, and led conversations to further equity and understanding in the communities we work in. These are ongoing discussions that CLIMB is actively participating in through our programming. 540396 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 1 0 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 0 0 0 0 1 10 0 1 81 1 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 X 3 3 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 1 1 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 MN X X The Organization 6514539275 6415 Carmen Avenue East Inver Grove Heights MN 55076 Justin Cervantes Chair 2.00 X X 0 0 0 Sam Taitel Secretary 2.00 X X 0 0 0 James Olney Board Member 2.00 X 0 0 0 Afton Benson Managing Director and CEO 40.00 X 43393 0 0 43393 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 66379 77003 143382 Class and Performance Fees 711110 342962 342962 342962 68446 0 68446 68446 68446 23545278 23194173 351105 323807 27298 Insurance Reimbursements 900099 33419 33419 Miscellaneous Income 900099 18179 18179 51598 957493 342962 323807 147342 52134 30039 21398 697 521268 300351 213950 6967 19114 11953 6572 589 41867 24823 16458 586 25876 8860 17016 12177 4170 8007 242 15 227 24956 11608 12405 943 83697 11428 63750 8519 51283 50712 571 43550 14398 29152 66581 10240 56341 55082 33053 19275 2754 Miscellaneous 22765 11852 9988 925 Theater production expe 12913 12913 Equipment rental 5985 3591 2095 299 Dues and subscriptions 1578 390 0 1188 1041068 540396 477205 23467 182675 208345 22318 2324 5304 5813 90031 85887 17700 16530 12467 13006 1745655 1167583 644525 578072 49536 34263 1024556 944240 136796 172312 149623 87922 648183 632693 60000 54538 39472 989140 992399 X 35416 -48159 35416 -48159 1024556 944240 -83575 0 X X 0 1 X 1 0 X 114796 549022 451604 206557 143382 1465361 148029 100619 197305 255830 342962 1044745 262825 649641 648909 462387 486344 2510106 0 0 0 2510106 34347 23871 10150 57728 68446 194542 34347 23871 10150 57728 68446 194542 201103 297810 55952 132791 323807 1011463 287875 50429 78896 417200 498275 971322 1002886 703335 957493 4133311 0.60730 0.25900 0.04710 0.04030 X RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED 112646 112646 1431345 985546 445799 162924 143297 19627 38740 38740 0 578072 Security Deposits 4400 Operating Lease Liability 13784 Financing Lease Liability 21288 39472 955266 -2227 -2227 957493 0 957493 1041068 0 1041068 0 1041068 Part XI, Line 2d - Other Adjustments: Transfers from the Lawful Gambling Fund -2,227. 248958 206741 14919 0 23165743 19961959 420821 2449105 0 130577 89117 7954 43557 0 23545278 20257817 428775 2507581 23194173 351105 MN 1 0 1 0 1.00000 Minnesota Gaming Services 3250 Rice Street St Paul MN 55126 0 Greg Violette 44479 Oversees the operations of the gambling sites.
