This program includes an eight-day service trip to build a school and/or playground in rural Guatemala. The student group funds 50% of the construction costs (with the local government paying the other 50%). Collectively, the students that travel in a given year fund the wrap around programming that make our schools sustainable. Prior to traveling abroad, students participate in seminars that teach successful fundraising tactics and educate them on the region's history and culture. During this life-changing experience our students open their eyes and mind to the deep and complicated challenges around international education, extreme poverty and gender discrimination. Most importantly, they leave with a renewed sense of gratitude, perspective and purpose. 345573 0 0 A three-classroom school is School the World's first step toward quality education. It is a symbol of our partnership between our long-term program, the community and the local government. It also symbolizes new beginnings and hope for the community. Often, it is the first formal school building in the community, replacing makeshift structures or adobe buildings in desperate need of repair. Our collaboration with the community from this initial stage of programming is vital for creating sustainable change. School the World requires that 50% of the construction costs are paid for by the local governments in Guatemala and Honduras to ensure their support in improving education. The local community members then dedicate their time and labor to assist with the construction. We raise funds from corporate sponsors, the Student Service Learning Program and individual donors for School the World's portion of the infrastructure. 145438 0 0 The majority of the parents we work with are illiterate, but they are determined to provide their children with the education they never had. Through bi-monthly parent trainings by our local staff, School the World empowers parents to become the first educators for their children. They learn how to support their child's learning both in and out of the classroom. They learn about their rights, the rights of their child and the responsibilities of the teacher. These trainings have succeeded in turning around otherwise failing schools. 69993 0 0 School the World Teacher Training program provides teachers with two years of intensive training that includes a special focus on child-centric teaching and early grade reading skills. Teachers participate in monthly group trainings followed up with individualized classroom-based coaching. The training includes classroom management techniques and social and emotional learning in addition to the core focus on literacy skills. To deepen motivation, we recognize excellence in teaching - specific behaviors we intend to incent - with monetary awards and public recognition. Through this program School the World has built a culture of professional pride, peer influence and motivation. Additionally, this program has stimulated interest in improving teaching strategies as well as creating interactive learning materials to enhance the quality of lesson plans. Overall, the results of this program show an enhanced classroom engagement by the students and an enhanced learning. 50011 0 0 School the World partners with parents in the communities to purchase culturally relevant books and begin the assembly of a full classroom library in each school. School the World adds to each of these libraries annually for five years with co-investments from parents. We believe deeply engaging the parents in the success of schools is critical to creating lasting change. The investment in books not only engages parents, it empowers them as co-creators of their child's education. 973695 true true false false false false false false false false true 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 true false false false false false false false false true X 0 0 5 true false true GT HO false false false false false 0 false false false false 0 0 false X 12 12 false false false false false false false true true false false true true true true false false true false false MA CT X Cindy Clemson 6178679500 376 Boylston Street Suite 203 Boston MA 02116 Kate Curran Founder 60.00 0.00 X X 125000 0 0 Rafael Urbina Board Chairman 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Cindy Clemson Board Treasurer 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Joseph Cronin Board Secretary 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Keith Clausen Board Member 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Linda Delaney Board Member 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Alberto Musalem Board Member 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Ellen McDonnell Stevens Board Member 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Merrily Bodell Board Member 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Geoffrey Willison Board Member 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Cynthia Del Aguila Board Member 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Jack Warfield Board Member 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 125000 0 0 1 false false false 0 0 28498 0 0 1126777 182317 1155275 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 28498 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1155275 0 0 0 125000 81250 31249 12501 0 0 0 0 218256 185364 30877 2015 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 14204 13654 550 0 9874 5144 4730 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 5786 1774 3998 14 41525 20053 21472 0 20365 3099 11278 5988 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 47791 33177 10922 3692 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 2293 0 2293 0 3201 0 3201 0 Construction materials 299714 299714 0 0 Student Service Learning 250808 249442 1332 34 Other expenses 48778 21778 20854 6146 Teacher training 32057 32057 0 0 27189 27189 0 0 1146841 973695 142756 30390 180667 218793 0 0 0 0 6965 997 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 23100 34442 6371 6168 392 203 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 211124 254435 153982 184440 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 153982 184440 X 57142 69995 0 0 0 0 57142 69995 211124 254435 8434 0 0 0 4419 0 X true X true X true false X 506258 738277 824827 984005 1155275 4208642 506258 738277 824827 984005 1155275 4208642 4208642 5 5 0 0 0 10 5 5 0 0 0 10 506263 738282 824827 984005 1155275 4208652 1.00000 0.9998 0.00000 0.00 X Part III, line 12 | S.No:, Year:, Description:| 1, 2015, Misc| 2, 2014, Misc| 3, 2013, Misc| false false 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 6371 0 6168 203 0 0 0 0 203 1155275 0 0 0 0 0 1155275 0 0 0 1155275 1146841 0 0 0 0 0 1146841 0 0 0 1146841 Boston event 18056 18056 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 DC Event 10442 10442 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 28498 28498 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 Part VI, Section B, Line 11b A copy of this 990 return was provided to all members of the Board for review.
