As a result of the changes in program delivery, we served half the number of students we served pre-pandemic. We served 6,970 low-income K-12 students across 15 public elementary/middle schools and 9 high schools for 180 days during the school year, 20 days during the summer through the ASPIRE and PREP programs. Daily virtual and in-person programming within PREP and ASPIRE was aligned with school day instruction and included homework help, academic tutoring, enrichment activities, physical fitness activities, and virtual field trips. As a result of students participation in our expanded learning program, 60% of students reported the program helped them to learn skills that will help them be successful in life, while 64% of participants confirmed that the program exposed them to a variety of programs and activities they cant do elsewhere. Similarly, 79% of students indicated the expanded learning program provided them with a safe place to learn remotely, with 72% reporting they felt expanded learning staff really cared about them and their learning. Collectively, according to 70% of students, their experiences in the expanded learning program benefited them academically as it helped them improve their behavior in school. Parents similarly noticed that their childs participation in the expanded learning program provided them with multiple benefits. For example, 87% of parents reported that their child received the academic support they needed in the program, which led 82% of parents to report that they felt their students grades had improved as a result of their participation in the program. Parents found additional benefits of their childs participation, as 88% of parents reported their child became more confident in their skills and abilities as a result of their participation in the program, with an additional 77% indicating that their child showed more interest in going to college. Ultimately, 93% of parents indicated that they would recommend the program to another parent or student, as 92% of parents reported their child enjoyed attending the program. STUDENT SUPPORT SERVICES: Due to the on-going pandemic, programming remained remote for our in-class student support services via the Learning Continuity Program. Despite this limitation, we provided 28,766 points of service through the Learning Continuity Program across three contracted high schools during the 2020-2021 academic school year. The Learning Continuity Program was designed to increase students academic achievement and engagement by providing high-quality, rigorous, and engaging tutoring within students virtual classrooms. On average, we served 291 students each day across all three contracted high schools when the Learning Continuity Program was in operation between December 2020 - June 2021. One benefit that students indicated emerged from their participation in our expanded learning programs was a sense of belonging. More specifically, 70% of students who attended our expanded learning programs indicated they felt like they belonged. As a result of this sense of belonging, and their engagement with our staff, an average of 65% of students who attended our expanded learning programs stated they felt more comfortable in their academic skills and abilities, which resulted in 66% of students who attended our programs indicating they felt successful in school despite learning remotely. Similarly, 93% of parents indicated they were satisfied or very satisfied with the quality of support services we offered throughout the 2020-21 academic school year. 7697042 true true false false false false false false false false true false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false true false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false true 9 0 true 437 true false false false false false false false 0 false false false false false false false X 6 5 false false false false false false false true true false false true true true true true true true true false CA X Brenda Carrillo 5629450150 7200 Greenleaf 300 Whittier CA 90602 Robert Arellanes CEO 40.00 0.00 X 173582 0 58137 Brenda Carrillo COO 40.00 0.00 X 121220 0 10704 Araceli Grano Secretary 1.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 Carolina Arce Treasurer 1.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 Gina Lopez Board Member 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Robert D Bell Board Member 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Vann Priest Board Chair 1.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 294802 68841 2 false true false 0 7713817 804 7714621 Program Fees 611710 204200 204200 204200 4649 4649 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 Other Income 900099 72366 72366 72366 7995836 281215 0 0 0 0 357909 357909 0 5798385 5795687 2698 10398 10012 386 245749 236623 9126 587022 565224 21798 0 0 39716 39716 0 0 561 561 8893 5691 3202 0 0 119677 21682 97995 0 72405 48486 23919 1047 188 859 0 7440 7440 38030 38030 0 196968 196968 31777 31777 Curriculum Materials 543414 508134 35280 Supplies 202036 185837 16199 Communication 142384 132183 10201 Professional Development 120924 113023 7901 141008 66832 74176 8665743 7697042 968701 0 1643803 888192 57113 90484 0 1062280 1609514 0 0 0 0 144703 98600 1155199 688998 609494 466201 161863 189088 0 0 0 0 3679256 3342079 604673 786155 1974 606647 786155 X 1324851 1549166 1747758 1006758 3072609 2555924 3679256 3342079 -669907 24619 128603 X false true X false true true X 2124831 3214606 4954827 6846914 7714621 24855799 0 0 2124831 3214606 4954827 6846914 7714621 24855799 0 24855799 5647 6845 3737 4334 4649 25212 0 92391 76641 115420 72366 356818 25237829 0.98490 0.98110 X RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED 22156 22156 1098919 658418 440501 34124 30580 3544 466201 8019894 24619 24619 7995275 561 561 7995836 8665182 8665182 561 561 8665743 X X X false false false false false false false false false Robert Arellanes CEO 157927 15655 38594 19543 231719 Form 990, Part VI, Line 11b: Form 990 Review Process The Organizations Chief Operations Officer is responsible for the timely preparation of the Form 990.
