Through 10+ programs, young women received over 18,222.25 service-hours and were supported by 35+ adult volunteer mentors. Midway through our program year--in response to the Covid-19 pandemic --we pivoted the majority of our programs to digital learning spaces; we began offering increased mutual aid opportunities, healthy meal delivery, social work counseling, and a technology lending library for youth and families most impacted by the pandemic. In the spring and summer, we also offered increased programs focused on racial justice & healing. We center young women from marginalized and under-resourced communities. Of current Y-WE youth, 80% are of color, and most are from first- or second-generation immigrant families. School-year programs include: Youth Leadership Council, Y-WE Lead, Y-WE Tech, Nature Connections and Hands on the Land. Participants reported increased: self-confidence, leadership skills, engagement with the natural world, and commitment to taking action for community change. 100% of Y-WE Lead program-end survey respondents reported increased sense of self-confidence and 100% of Y-WE Nature Connections youth in one cohort reported increased interest and motivation to learn more about the environment. 94812 0 34500 Summer Programs: Multi-day arts camps Y-WE Create & Y-WE Write; and Hands on the Land Internships at Marra Farm provided transformative, creative, and healing activities to 90 youth participants who were supported by 33 volunteer adult mentors. Due to Covid-safety guidelines, our camps and activities were held via online forums and some small in-person socially-distant outdoor learning spaces. Young women worked directly with world-renowned writers, artists, community leaders, and diverse professionals to develop their voices, express their creative visions, gain resources to achieve their future goals, tell their powerful stories, and develop a stronger relationship with the land. As a result of these programs, participants reported increased: social-emotional support, confidence in their abilities as creators, clarity about their future goals, and empowerment to take action for social change. 100% of Y-WE Write youth reported feeling safe in their camp participation. 95% of Y-WE Create youth reported feeling welcome and like they belonged in the camp community, while 97.5% reported feeling safe. 58253 0 25552 Educational Events: Y-WE's educational events include STEM Exploration Day, Health Day, Youth Leadership Summit, & panel discussions/events that are responsive to our communities most urgent needs. These programs directly served 400+ diverse young women leaders and included hundreds of community members. These events featured: workshops led by diverse and inspiring women professionals; resource fairs highlighting organizations with career and scholarship opportunities for youth attendees; STEM education and skill development; and a holistic approach for young women's mental, emotional, social and physical well-being. Y-WE also offered educational workshops for schools and community groups which are seeking to improve their equity and social justice frameworks through creative community-building. 92% of youth at STEM Exploration Day reported an increased understanding of women's leadership in STEM fields. Due Covid-safety guidelines, our educational events transitioned to an online format mid-year. Our online educational panels and workshop featured topics such as Healthcare Injustice for Women of Color; a youth leadership council-led discussion with author Sonja Renee Taylor on her book The Body is Not an Apology; and a Womxn in Leadership interview series featuring diverse women's unique and powerful approaches to responding to their community's needs during the pandemic. We also launched Blackout Healing events in the summer to provide a way for Black folx to find community, rest, joy, and restoration during this season of racial uprisings in response to police brutality toward the Black people. These in-person outdoor events & online spaces were curated in collaboration with many Black artists, healers, teachers, and speakers. Allies supported by holding the perimeter at in person events, donating supplies and resources, and forming their own anti-racism education & action groups. 236312 0 52500 General program 236312 0 52500 890876 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 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 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 16 0 1 17 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 X 11 11 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 0 WA X Franklin Pierce Northwest 2065192426 2524 16th ave S Seattle WA 98144 Rose Edwards Co Executive Director 40 0 X 86000 0 0 Victoria Santos Co Exectutive Director 40 0 X 86000 0 0 Karen Wong Duncan Board Member 2 0 X 0 0 0 Rahwa Ghebremichael Board Member 2 0 X 0 0 0 Annette Anderson Board Member 2 0 X 0 0 0 Nahil Sharkasi Board Member 2 0 X 0 0 0 Sally Goodwin Board Member 2 0 X 0 0 0 Susan Heikkala Treasurer 5 0 X X 0 0 0 Sangeeta Gupte Chair 5 0 X X 0 0 0 Madeliene Hernandez Secretary 2 0 X X 0 0 0 Karan Nigam Board Member 2 0 X 0 0 0 Manika Bhagra Board Member 2 0 X 0 0 0 Nimco Abdirahman Board Member 2 0 X 0 0 0 172000 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 62930 1496017 45244 1558947 50 50 0 0 50 80 80 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 314 314 0 0 314 1559391 444 0 0 X 618072 535945 26765 55362 54648 46850 2808 4990 62638 53700 3219 5719 29835 14821 12050 2964 15300 15300 125500 100459 0 25041 205 139 0 66 64819 44305 873 19641 10066 5632 1422 3012 10780 9896 0 884 6892 6892 0 0 18185 13727 1321 3137 In Kind Expenses 36118 19618 0 16500 Program food 38892 38892 0 0 Misc expenses 100 0 100 0 0 0 1092050 890876 48558 152616 264670 733063 485057 639724 65396 19287 11621 46109 -3865 757483 1418896 4400 1200 631 112140 5031 113340 X 752452 1100556 0 205000 752452 1305556 757483 1418896 467341 0 81363 0 4400 0 X 0 0 0 X 463780 643424 1146188 1206845 1096017 4556254 463780 643424 1146188 1206845 1096017 4556254 1637174 2919080 13 34 38 44 80 209 450 653 314 1417 4557880 0.64045 0.7771 X Schedule A, Part II, Line 10 Reimbursements and misc income RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 3678 0 3152 526 61718 0 16135 45583 46109 PPP loan 112140 112140 1 0 0 0 X 1 45244 FMV 0 0 1 0 Schedule M, Part I Noncash contributions are in kind donations of 2020 White Ford Transit Wagon which is a 15 passenger van Form 990, Header, Line B Amendment to change the amount of a pledge from Satterberg Form 990, Part VI, Section B, Line 11b YWE's Steering Committee which includes Board Chair, Treasurer, and Vice Chair of Board Operations, will review the draft 990 before it is filed.
