Our programs serve over 3,600 girls, ages 7-18, annually, and reach over 35 neighborhoods in Chicago and Baltimore. We prioritize serving girls of color who live in under-resourced communities, particularly in vulnerable, historically disenfranchised communities. In our largest program, After School, participants play sports, learn about healthy lifestyle choices, and improve their leadership skills in an all-girl setting. Ninety-minute sessions take place weekly for three, 10-week seasons over the course of the school year. In addition to introducing new sports, the curriculum addresses topics such as bullying, healthy relationships, mental health, and more. After School provides a safe, non-competitive environment for girls to learn and be physically active amongst supportive coaches and peers. 166869 98235 Girls in the Games Teen Programs are designed to give teen girls opportunities for leadership development. These programs provide age-appropriate college readiness workshops, career development, workshops about healthy living, and opportunities to be active. Teen Squad: Teen Squad provides teen leaders the opportunity to earn scholarships for college while improving their self-esteem and leadership skills. Members of Teen Squad lead health and leadership workshops for younger girls in the community and participate in fitness activities along with younger participants to set a positive example of healthy living. In exchange, members earn scholarships for higher education. In addition to leading workshops for younger girls, Teen Squad members participate in Leader to Leader Interviews where they meet with panels of professionals in a variety of different roles and industries and interview them about their backgrounds and careers. Teens prepare and lead the interview and use the opportunity to educate the panelists about the needs and issues facing girls today. Teen Squad members also participate in health-related workshops, such as those involving mental health, emotional regulation, self-confidence, identity, and more. Teens also have the option to participate in career readiness workshops, such as college essay prep, resume writing, and building their personal brand. As a way to reach more girls and increase access to this program for girls, many Teen Squad workshops and leadership development opportunities are also offered virtually. Teen Club: The site-based Teen Club adapts our traditional programming to dive deeper into topics relevant to high schoolers. It is used to engage girls ages 14 to 18 who are unable to participate in Teen Squad due to family obligations, part-time jobs, or lack of transportation. Teen Club meets girls where they are by entering school spaces to work with teens during or immediately after their school day. We utilize small groups settings once a week for twelve-week seasons throughout the school year. Members of Teen Club are able to participate in Leader to Leader interviews, discuss health topics, and be active in a supportive, consistent group of coaches and peers during each Teen Club season. Teen Residential Programming: Teen programming is also offered at Cook County Juvenile Temporary Detention Center (JTDC) as well as other residential facilities for teens. This programming adapts our sports, health, and leadership curriculum to allow participants more choice over topics and incorporate trauma-informed approaches such as opening and closing check-in circles. Programming at JTDC is offered year-round and allows for more flexibility in dealing with girls entering and leaving the facility at different times. 105557 27970 In addition to regular After School programming at partner sites, Girls in the Game offers one-time and school-break programs to engage more girls and offer fun, active, and healthy spaces for connection for girls when they are not in school. Days of Play: Days of Play are one-time workshops open to all girls who participate in Girls in the Game programs or live in the communities that we serve. Coaches (including teen coaches) lead girls through rotations of our sports, health, and leadership lessons for a fun day where girls from all over Chicago come together to play and learn. We hold Days of Play in the fall, winter and spring on non-school attendance days. In addition to being a fun outlet for girls to meet peers from different areas of the city, Days of Play also provide safe, active spaces for girls to be while they are not in school. Game Days: Over the course of the year, up to 1,000 girls at sites across Chicago will participate in two-to-three hours of traditional and nontraditional sports as well as workshops on health and leadership through Game Days. Game Days are often hosted at potential After School sites and serve as the first impression of our programs for many participants and their families. We also use Game Days to deepen relationships and recruit new girls at sites where we host elementary and middle school programming, as well as at community partner sites like the YWCA and Gary Comer Youth Center. Sports and Leadership Summer Camp: Summer Camp brings up to 130 girls from across Chicago together to experience new sports and learn about healthy lifestyles and leadership topics. Girls participate in four weeks of full-day day camp, one week of overnight camp, and field trips throughout the summer. Girls in the Game provides daily complimentary bus service to ensure that girls have safe transportation to and from camp as well as a nutritious lunch and snacks throughout the day. 82144 690703 true true false false false false false false false true true false false false false true true false false false false false false false true false false true true false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false true 0 0 true 41 true false false false false false true true false 0 false false false false false false false X 24 24 false false false false false false false true true false true true true true true true true true true true false IL X MEGHAN MORGAN 3126334263 1401 SOUTH SACRAMENTO DR CHICAGO IL 60623 MEGHAN MORGAN Executive Dir. 40.00 0.00 X 107682 0 0 CRYSTAL ANDREWS Director 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 SHAHARA BYFORD Director 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 ABBY BUTKUS MEMBER AT LARGE 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 BIANCA CAMARENA Director 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 SHANNON COOMES Director 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 ERIN CULLEN Director 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 TANARA GOLSTON Director 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 DON DUNBAR Director 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 CHRISTINA FISHER Director 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 IMAN HAYNES DUNCAN Director 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 TOBEY KRAMER Director 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 PEGGY KUSINSKI Director 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 KIRK LIMACHER Director 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 LAKEISHA MARSH Secretary 2.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 ALISON MILLER Director 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 ALYSON MILLER Treasurer 2.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 NORAH LARKE Director 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 JANETTE OUTLAW Director 4.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 MARILYNN PRESTON Director 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 MELISSA ROBBINS Board Chair 4.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 GINA OKA Director 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 MICHELLE SALOMON vice chair 4.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 JOE TASSONE Director 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 NICOLE ROMITO Director 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 107682 1 false false false 0 109162 227537 727797 8795 1064496 AFTER SCHOOL 611710 19071 19071 CAMPS AND CLINICS 611710 27970 27970 47041 141 141 0 0 0 0 443331 109162 88765 354566 0 0 OTHER INCOME 611710 209 209 209 1466453 47391 X 14700 14700 8841 8841 0 0 107682 58170 15355 34157 0 588608 317987 83921 186700 7439 4019 1060 2360 48434 26167 6905 15362 55128 29783 7860 17485 0 0 29831 21599 7556 676 0 0 0 119303 115814 2970 519 1040 1040 75274 9940 56947 8387 0 0 171 130 14 27 0 0 0 0 0 1355 462 438 455 21710 17934 -51 3827 SUPPLIES 44524 18137 232 26155 scholarships earned 29905 29905 research 14700 14700 TELEPHONE AND INTERNET 10235 474 9676 85 3622 1941 341 1340 1182502 690703 193224 298575 461454 675601 125385 125453 251440 177361 71691 36920 0 0 0 0 47078 73160 46495 34956 1438 11539 0 0 0 0 0 958486 1100034 155787 168560 3000 158176 313963 171560 X 150773 290474 493750 638000 644523 928474 958486 1100034 283951 X false true X true false X 1249399 777130 1146427 1003169 1002375 5178500 0 0 1249399 777130 1146427 1003169 1002375 5178500 171363 5007137 69 2695 245 221 141 3371 0 0 5181871 0.96630 0.99930 X RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED 125000 125000 125000 125000 125000 125000 125000 125000 125000 125000 1.00000 false false false 36034 24495 11539 10461 10461 11539 X 1675218 120000 88765 208765 1466453 1466453 1391267 120000 88765 208765 1182502 1182502 Part X : FIN48 Footnote THE ORGANIZATION HAS BEEN DETERMINED TO BE EXEMPT FROM INCOME TAX UNDER SECTION 501(C)(3) OF THE INTERNAL REVENUE CODE, AND ACCORDINGLY, NO PROVISION HAS BEEN MADE FOR EITHER FEDERAL OR STATE INCOME TAXES.
