It is the mission of the HBCU Rising to address the underrepresentation of people of color in scientific fields in our country, by providing engaging opportunities for economically vulnerable students to learn more about STEM subjects in a culturally grounded, experiential, fun and accessible way. The HBCU Rising aims to fill the pipeline for unfilled STEM-related jobs, for which the representation of African American participation is by far the lowest of any ethnic or racial group. Our program addresses these challenges, while at the same time supporting economically vulnerable college students, who are fairly compensated as mentors and provided workforce-development training to better prepare them for 21st-century careers. In 2016 our program served approximately 300 middle school students and 20 college mentors. 219362 The Rising: Elevating Education, Expectations and Self-Esteem: ChicagoThe Rising is a consciousness-changing, healing and academic support program designed to override the systemic inequities that affect Black children living in high-poverty situations the most, by creating a web of culturally anchored support services, working through schools, local leadership and other community-based organizations. In Chicago, our largest site, the program is embedded at John M. Harlan High School on the city's Southside. Working hand-in-hand with school administrators, educators and parents, The Rising instills in our young a deep sense of racial pride, self-worth, confidence and hope for the future. Created by subject-matter experts, the trauma-informed model-enhanced by partner-provided wraparound supports-engages communities, surrounding young people with caring adults so that they are fortified and able to withstand structural racism and embrace their potential. Through large-group auditorium sessions and single-gender healing sessions led by a trained facilitatorWellness Mentoring Circles-along with other curriculum-aligned programming including a strong focus on workforce development and readiness, youngsters work closely with trained psychologists and mentors to heal traumas, so they are emotionally healthy and able to succeed socially and academically. 131014 Affiliate Development and Mentor Recruitment and Training: The National CARES Mentoring Movement began its work as a mentor-recruitment agency devoted to seeking and deploying to schools and youth-support organizations the most needed and difficult-to-find volunteersAfrican American men and women. We soon learned from our recruits that few mentoring organizations we connected them with offered the grounding, skills and support needed to serve adequately children suffering from the effects of poverty. Before our trainings, many mentors felt that they had an incomplete understanding of how the effects of poverty were impacting children's lives, and many also felt that they themselves needed support and undergirding in order to advance and secure young, fragile lives. In response, CARES formed a 60-person, multidisciplinary, intergenerational Brain Trust that worked in teams for a year to develop a road-map to wellness, self-love, self-sufficiency and, ultimately, healthy communities. Contributors to the manual included scholars and academics, advocates and activists, artists, researchers, journalists, youth-development experts, doctors and other wellness professionals. Today, their remarkable collaboration provides the guiding philosophical framework for all our programmatic work: the 149-page manual, A New Way Forward: Healing What's Hurting Black America.Following the wisdom of A New Way Forward, our seminal program is Affiliate Development. Its core activity is recruiting, training and deploying caring and able mentors. Through monthly group teleconferences, weekly one-on-one support calls and annual all-Affiliate gatherings, National CARES strengthens the leadership capacity of our network of 58 CARES Mentor Recruitment Affiliates throughout the nation our volunteer army. Through the development of shared principles, protocols and language, our leaders are able to effectively, and with deep cultural competency, recruit adults to serve as mentors and deploy them to schools and youth-support organizations around the country that are desperate for Black volunteers and that use the traditional one-to-one model of mentoring. In some cities, our local leaders are also recruiting and training mentors to work in CARES-created, group mentoring programs. 400779 1326417 true true false false false false false false false false true false false false true true 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 false false false false false false false false false false true 98 0 true 11 true false false false false false false true true false 0 false false false false false false false false false false X 4 3 false false false false false false false true true false true true true true true false false false false false false NY X BCA Watson Rice LLP 2124477300 5 Penn Plaza 15th Floor New York NY 10001 Reginald Van Lee Chairman 1.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 Johnny Furr Jr Treasurer 1.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 Geoffrey Canada Director 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Susan L Taylor President & CEO 40.00 0.00 X X 150000 0 0 Chivonne Williams Executive Dir. 40.00 0.00 X X 121154 0 0 271154 2 false false false 0 825070 90867 1541231 2457168 0 0 0 0 0 0 184493 825070 532366 -347873 -347873 0 0 Other Revenue 900099 3707 3707 3707 2113002 3707 -347873 X 0 0 0 0 271154 104586 106568 60000 0 463573 369481 15154 78938 1108 1108 48876 48876 53198 30548 11348 11302 0 4000 4000 78000 78000 0 0 0 839329 553679 83876 201774 30459 3890 9556 17013 93957 27916 61129 4912 17525 2434 12384 2707 0 24727 24357 210 160 89405 29990 12721 46694 0 57237 18472 11151 27614 0 100000 100000 0 7116 7116 Student/Mentor stipends 50310 50310 Other Program Expenses 10754 10754 0 2240728 1326417 463197 451114 479703 268815 1039479 840392 305095 131800 21750 0 0 0 0 0 128160 203663 10260 10260 0 0 0 0 0 1225 2725 1975412 1447395 11139 45887 523789 117500 250 534928 163637 X 451173 681145 989311 602613 1440484 1283758 1975412 1447395 -127726 -29000 X false true X false false X 1408579 2238862 1461868 1915765 2457168 9482242 0 0 1408579 2238862 1461868 1915765 2457168 9482242 4584197 4898045 45 2331 3707 6083 0 -347873 -347873 9140452 0.53590 0.59390 X RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED 10260 10260 Other current liabilities 250 250 X 2113002 2113002 2113002 2269728 29000 29000 2240728 2240728 Part X : FIN48 Footnote Accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America require management to evaluate tax positions taken by the Organization and recognize a tax liability if the Organization has taken an uncertain tax position that more likely than not would be sustained upon examination by the Internal Revenue Service. The Organization is subject to routine audits by taxing jurisdictions; however, there are currently no audits for any tax periods in progress. Management believes it is no longer subject to income tax examinations prior to 2013. false Gala 1009563 825070 184493 185097 15350 331919 1009563 825070 184493 185097 15350 331919 532366 -347873 Form 990, Part III, Line 4d: Other Program Services Description OTHER PROGRAM SERVICES 4: The HBCU Rising: A Campus-Public Schools Literacy and STEM Mentoring Initiative This innovative, curriculum-based initiative uses a three-tiered group-mentoring model in which corporate volunteers in STEM-related professions coach college students from historically Black colleges and universities (HBCUs) who work in teams to coach middle schoolers and support school teachers in science and math classes in under-resourced public schools.
