Our four experiential educators with 65 years of collective experience guide students in grades 5 through 12 -- and their teachers -- to develop critical thinking and problem solving skills, increase social and emotional intelligence, work collaboratively in and out of the classroom, manage projects while guiding and leading others, and open doors to improving school culture and academic performance. In 2015 EOL launched a demonstration project to apply the EOL model system-wide in the Keene, NH school district. We deliver our programs to all 5th, 6th, 7th and 8th graders in the classroom throughout the school year, and students visit our location and challenge course each semester. High school participants receive leadership development training in the summer at High 5 and then identify a particular issue to work on and improve in their school, with leadership development programming that includes teachers. Total served during the 2016-2017 school year: 700+ students, 265 educators. Since 2011, thousands of youth and adults have participated in EOL at sites throughout the Northeast. 1600310 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 false false false false false false false true false false false false false false false false false false false false false true 7 0 true 30 true false false false false false false false false 0 false false false false false false false false false false X 11 11 false false false false false false false true false false false true true true true false false true false false X JENNIFER OTTINGER 8022548718 130 AUSTINE DRIVE BRATTLEBORO VT 05301 THOMAS SKINNER Director 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 JOHN MARTIN President 1.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 THOMAS OXHOLM Director 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 NICKI HALL Director 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 CHARLES BOLESH Director 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 BARBARA HARRIS Director 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 DANIEL DAVIS Director 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 LEE BRADFORD Director 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 BRAIN KIRK Director 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 SARAH VANGEL Director 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 CHRISTINE WANNER Director 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 JAMES GROUT Executive Dir. 40.00 0.00 X 82727 0 0 JENNIFER OTTINGER BUSINESS MNGR 40.00 0.00 X 63174 0 0 145901 0 false false false 0 40255 40255 EDGE OF LEADERSHIP 900099 35095 35095 ROPE COURSE DEVELOPMENT 900099 1004559 1004559 TRAINING INCOME 900099 566960 566960 1606614 69 69 0 0 0 0 0 0 205527 75576 129951 129951 0 1776889 1736634 0 0 0 0 145901 145901 0 813417 702728 103766 6923 0 129990 100405 29585 71660 53139 18256 265 0 6217 580 5637 7700 7700 0 0 0 136951 74298 61253 1400 14326 5721 8605 48405 15196 32818 391 0 0 30625 30625 152320 143378 8942 0 10373 5687 4650 36 15427 15427 0 14048 14048 150547 136736 13811 ROPES COURSE 278402 278402 ON SITE TRAINING 38561 37786 775 EQUIPMENT RENTAL 29589 29589 STAFF EXPENSES 10064 5634 4430 15806 11031 4775 2120329 1600310 511004 9015 96375 127298 101792 15 213822 0 68130 35781 0 0 0 63371 71664 3522 0 183728 147133 49393 36595 0 0 0 0 0 596405 271353 119235 153265 80905 55103 149544 170424 349684 378792 X -6392 -117439 253113 10000 246721 -107439 596405 271353 -343440 -10720 X true X false false false X 45020 63076 17060 38537 40255 203948 1248863 1565370 2003433 1974647 1812141 8604454 0 0 0 1293883 1628446 2020493 2013184 1852396 8808402 1091 3325 1300 3605 8795 18116 410551 638769 1043990 1066781 555284 3715375 411642 642094 1045290 1070386 564079 3733491 5074911 12 25 102 92 102 333 0 12 25 102 92 102 333 0 0 1293895 1628471 2020595 2013276 1852498 8808735 0.57610 0.58340 0.00000 X 15214 15214 40745 35604 5141 127769 96315 31454 36595 NIKKI HALL BOARD MEMBER WEBSITE IMPROVEMENTS X 12500 12500 false false false 12500 Form 990, Part VI, Line 11b: Form 990 Review Process A COPY OF THE RETURN IS MADE AVAILABLE TO THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS FOR REVIEW PRIOR TO FILING.
