The "school-based" program is a space for participants to learn about themselves, increase pride in their identity and furthermore learn how to navigate the world around them. The curriculum is delivered through group and individual sessions. In-school programming has resumed at Asa Mercer International Middle School, the Powerful Voices office and at various community-based locations. Powerful Choices: 54 middle school youth met weekly over eight weeks to explore their identities, build a community of support, and use arts and culture activities to express and celebrate their unique selves. Our most recent cohort was co-facilitated by a young adult healing justice fellow, a Powerful Voices staff member, and a youth healing justice who helped with developing the curriculum for the cohort and facilitation of the cohort. Black Muslimah Collective (BMC): 6 young people participated in a cohort for Black Muslim girls in the Seattle area to build community, relate to one another, and be authentically themselves. We are so honored to have had our youth intern (former BMC participant) lead this cohort and curate an amazing program curriculum to cultivate community among young Black Muslim girls & women. The Cultural Enrichment programs served 60 youth of color in 2022 (double last year's metrics) through trauma-informed, strengths-based healing and social justice programming, including one-on-one support, cohort programs, and self- and community-care resources. 134229 0 EMPLOYMENT: The Employment program offers both after school and summer programs for high school age girls* and gender expansive youth of color. Our after-school programs are experiential learning internships where participants increase their knowledge of social justice issues that impact them while building transferrable skills they can apply towards their career goals. Activistas: 11 young folks met weekly over 10 weeks. Group learning sessions included topics ranging from Grassroots Organizing 101 to Queer & Trans Liberation to Birth Work as Activism. We partnered with several community organizations and local artists to provide guest workshops and field trips. Activistas explored different forms of activism, learning, and practicing self and community care along the way with support from 5 Adult Allies and a former Activista who interned with us. PV Radio: 10 young folks worked together to create, produce, and host monthly social-justice podcasts. Podcast topics include Social + Healing Justice, Pop Culture, LGBTQ+, Self-Image and Healthy Relationships. Employment programs served 22 youth of color in 2022 (more than 5x last year's metrics). 67114 0 COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT: Powerful Voices works within the community on issues that impact girls* and gender expansive of color to promote equity and make the world a more just place for everyone. Community Engagement efforts include hosting our annual Revolutionary Community Care Day where we provide self-care items and services to youth and their families, producing the annual Girlvolution Conference led by Activistas youth, providing training on Powerful Voices curriculum and practices, serving on coalitions, and partnering to provide outreach to girls of color detained in King County Juvenile Detention. Due to the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic and limited staff capacity, we temporarily put our work with incarcerated youth on hold. Girlvolution & Revolutionary Community Care: We brought back our annual Girlvolution conference with young folks from our Activistas cohort. Girlvolution included healing justice elements throughout, such as a group healing session that supported six young folks in breathwork and mindfulness meditation, PV Comfort Kits (self-care toolkits) for youth, and a self-care resource station for youth and their families with basic needs and toiletries. The main portion of the conference was youth presenting on an intersectional social justice topic that impacts their mental health and wellbeing and that of their families and communities. Young folks worked over 10 weeks to research and create the presentations that they shared at Girlvolution. Presentation topics included BIPOC youth in foster care, youth incarceration, fast fashion, displacement and gentrification in South Seattle, race and education, Latinx communities and immigration, Black voter suppression, systemic racism, financial security, the anti-colonial revolution of South Asia, and more. Each presentation included a call to action and/or an invitation for the audience to raise their consciousness. Community Engagement programs and events distributed 185 self-care kits, served 9 youth through group healing sessions, worked with 15 volunteers including Adult Allies, and engaged 50 youth and adults at Girlvolution. 0 0 0 671144 1 1 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 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 9 0 1 8 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 X 13 12 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 0 X FRANKLIN PIERCE NORTHWEST 2066390585 1600 2ND AVE 3808 SEATTLE WA 98101 CHARHYS BAILEY EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR 40 0 X 96037 0 0 RITASHA PRASAD PRESIDENT 2 0 X X 0 0 0 CYNTHIA DAVIA-VANLOO PRESIDENT 2 0 X X 0 0 0 EBONY BOOKER VICE PRESIDENT 2 0 X X 0 0 0 JULIE FENG SECRETARY 2 0 X X 0 0 0 KAYLA LEWIS TREASURER 2 0 X X 0 0 0 MARIA MUTO DIRECTOR 2 0 X 0 0 0 VANNESSA RIVERA DIRECTOR 2 0 X 0 0 0 NICOLE SIRIVANSANTI DIRECTOR 2 0 X 0 0 0 RACHEL PARK DIRECTOR 2 0 X 0 0 0 MARIA RIOS DIRECTOR 2 0 X 0 0 0 KIA GUARINO DIRECTOR 2 0 X 0 0 0 ASHLEY THOMAS DIRECTOR 2 0 X 0 0 0 96037 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 287659 623197 0 910856 0 170 170 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 1 911027 171 0 0 96037 40336 44177 11524 0 426675 416567 4099 6009 53471 15052 38349 70 52251 40687 10078 1486 48241 48241 54620 40872 1010 12738 3728 3728 69687 37445 30758 1484 8726 8726 18986 14643 4343 7193 3742 3451 27201 27201 2496 2496 Food and Beverage and Supplies and Celebration 30676 24024 6652 0 Volunteer and Staff Appreciation 2578 869 1709 Other Expenses 157 0 0 157 Youth Support 980 980 0 0 903703 671144 199091 33468 1126778 1087511 124081 489638 353575 23230 104613 4716 24514 7378 1664160 1681874 16051 31143 79580 60318 7378 23208 30390 118839 129229 X 1055683 1081406 489638 471239 1545321 1552645 1664160 1681874 7324 0 0 0 0 0 X 0 0 0 X 1073312 318658 776434 1456076 910856 4535336 1073312 318658 776434 1456076 910856 4535336 4535336 2215 4576 1424 170 170 8555 4543891 0.99812 0.702 X RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED 0 Accrued Vacation 26286 Payroll Liabilities 2233 Direct Deposit Liabilities 1871 30390 Form 990, Part VI, Section A, Line 8b The Board documented the meetings held or written actions undertaken during the year.
