Black Hawk, Dubois, Graham, Harvard Park and McClernand. Club Compass is free to participating students. All students are selected and referred by their school based on elgibility criteria. Club Compass serves approximately 100-125 students. Each school Compass serves is paired with two or more community partners. Community partners host the Club Compass site for their neighborhood school and make an ongoing commitment to their partner school and to supporting Club Compass. Community partners are often churches, but can also be neighborhood associations, civic groups or local businesses. As a team, the community partners work together to provide the program location, volunteers, snack, dinner and needed supplies. Each Club Compass site has the same major components: snack, an evidence-based social-emotional curriculum lesson, academic time, Life Skills classes, and a healthy family-style dinner. A site director (Compass for Kids staff member) oversees and manages the program site, acts as the liaison between the school, students, volunteers, and parents, and ensures a structured, consistent, high-quality program experience. The program is otherwise staffed by dedicated, loving volunteers who serve as classroom helpers and mentors to the children. 129176 Camp Compass is a free summer program for at-risk elementary students of Springfield School District 186. Camp Compass is designed to improve reading and math skills to prevent learning loss over the summer months and close the achievement gap between low-income students and their higher-income peers. Camp Compass is an academic intervention where licensed teachers instruct 100+ students three hours per day, five days per week, for the six weeks of camp. Camp Compass incorporates enrichment activities and field trips to create a fun camp-like environment. Mornings are reserved for academics while afternoons are filled with a wide array of activities coordinated around a weekly theme such as STEM, Arts, Sports, Healthy Living. Transportation, breakfast, lunch, and an afternoon snack are provided. 22041 The Backpack Feeding Program is a partnership between Compass for Kids, HSHS St. John's Hospital, and the Central Illinois Foodbank to address child food insecurity. The program sends home food with the children in Club Compass and Camp Compass for over the weekend. Our goal is to provide each child with two breakfasts, two lunches, two snacks and two dinners. Children in Springfield School District 186 receive free breakfast and lunch at school, but many of them do not have access to food (or nutritious food) during out-of-school hours. We believe our kids need healthy food so they can grow into healthy adults. The backpack feeding program is an add-on to our school year and summer programs. 7491 294645 true true false false false false false false false false false false false false false false true false false false false false false false true 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 true 1 0 true 21 true false false false false false false true true false 0 false false false false false false false false false false X 15 15 false false false false false false false true true false false true true true false true true true true false IL X X X Molly Berendt 2176918103 501 S 4th St Springfield IL 62701 Sarah Beuning President 2.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 Brooke Thomas Vice President 1.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 Josh Sabo Secretary 1.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 Thao Ring Treasurer 1.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 Laura Vaught Director 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Richard Johnson Director 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Michael Blitstein Director 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Lynsey Canty Director 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Vykye Johnson Director 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Abby Sgro Director 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Gemma Long Director 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Peggy Cormeny Director 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 David Eldridge Director 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Becky Wilson Director 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Shane Adkins Director 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Molly Berendt Executive Dir. 40.00 0.00 X 47744 0 0 47744 0 false false false NONE 0 579 65422 531304 40054 597305 0 153 153 0 0 0 0 2732 65422 2732 0 0 0 0 597458 153 0 0 0 0 47744 41914 5830 0 123820 117313 6507 0 0 16498 15426 1072 0 0 13250 12278 972 0 0 0 2500 2500 0 12098 9358 2137 603 1075 1011 64 0 4990 4788 202 20737 20737 0 1113 1113 0 0 0 7450 6988 462 Program supplies 52912 52912 Home visit program 5920 5920 Field Trips 3844 3844 Volunteer appreciation 1656 1656 500 500 316107 294645 20859 603 86167 141160 46785 262869 7972 12885 108 0 0 0 0 310 310 0 0 0 0 0 0 141234 417332 11091 19696 37938 24080 49029 43776 X 63539 122192 28666 251364 92205 373556 141234 417332 281351 X false true X true false X 292635 597305 889940 0 0 0 0 292635 597305 889940 0 0 889940 5 153 158 0 5 153 158 0 0 292640 597458 890098 X 0.00000 0.00000 709495 112037 112037 597458 597458 428144 112037 112037 316107 316107 false Match campaign 44154 43982 172 172 Brunch 17840 15280 2560 2353 207 1 6160 6160 68154 65422 2732 2353 379 2732 X Bckgrnd check 125 5000 cost X Field trips 4 1000 cost X Snacks 3000 2500 cost X Dinners 150 25000 cost X Backpack food 440 500 cost X Supplies 3525 3525 cost X Prizes 500 1700 cost X School supply 750 750 cost X Food 1 79 cost false false false Form 990, Part III, Line 2: New Services As of January 1, 2018, Camp Care-A-Lot merged under the umbrella of Compass for Kids, Inc.
