In partnership with community adults, we nurture young people in Red Hook to be inspired, resilient, and healthy, and to envision themselves as co-creators of their lives, community and society. We envision a Red Hook where all young people can pursue their dreams and grow into independent adults who contribute to their families and community. false false 2428347 6952 High School Programs (ages 15-18): When members reach 9th grade they become Youth Leaders (YL) at RHI. This is a 4-year program focused on employment and leadership. YLs not only focus on their own goals and personal development, they are also employees at RHI and receive training to provide programs and services to their peers. Each YL works close to 10 hours per week in training or carrying out their role; with some time spent on tutoring and academic support. Exposure to opportunities in college and careers, as well as developing life skills, are important program components during these years at RHI. Every 11th and 12th grade student has a weekly post-secondary planning group in addition to their work as a YL. From July 2016 to June 2017, the High School Program served nearly 100 students from the Red Hook community who reached hundreds of their peer and neighbors. Young Adult Programs (ages 19-24): RHI served nearly 200 young adults through small group and individual services between July 2016 and June 2017. Formal programs and groups include: HSE classes, college scholars program (for students planning to apply to college or working toward a two or four year degree), Work Progress Program (8-12 week placement in paid job-training program), and a professional development training program (3 week program teaching basics in job readiness and professional development). Individual services include: coaching, benefits screening, clinical counseling, legal referrals and housing referrals. WIFI/Technology Programs: RHIs Digital Stewards are young adults enrolled in a paid, 8-month training program through which they maintain and promote Red Hook WIFI (a free wireless network that RHI created to serve as a community resource and job board), coordinate tech-related projects and events, and gain tech skills and knowledge. In 2016-17, 92% of Digital Stewards agreed or strongly agreed that they learned skills that allow them to succeed in the workplace and gave them an opportunity to make a difference in their neighborhood. 77% of Digital Stewards remained employed or actively pursuing further education within 6 months of completing the program. In program year 2017, Red Hook WIFI expanded, recruiting 38 local business partners on commercial streets in Red Hook who will host local hot spots. 2428347 true true false false false false false false false false true false false false false true true false false false false false false true true false false false true false false false false false false false false false false false true false false false false false false false false false false true 25 0 true 272 true false false false false false false true true false 0 false false false false false false false false false false X 14 14 false false false false false false false true true false false true true true true true true true false false NY X Barrie Koegel 7188586782 767 Hicks Street Brooklyn NY 11231 Gregg Bishop President 1.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 Janice McGuire Vice President 1.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 David Xi Bing Ma Treasurer 1.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 Maria Mottola Secretary 1.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 Andrew Strauss Vice President 1.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 Millicent Comrie Director 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Harry Hayes Director 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Brandon Holley Director 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Rebecca Kirszner Katz Director 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Gregory O'Connell Director 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Susan Stamler Director 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Chris Cardona Director 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Jennifer Wheary Director 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Eden Wurmfeld Director 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Jill Eisenhard Executive Dir. 40.00 0.00 X 126039 0 0 126039 1 false false false 0 102272 503832 3390676 3996780 0 0 0 0 25276 25276 25276 25276 0 31433 102272 31433 0 0 0 0 4022056 25276 0 6952 6952 0 0 131575 46051 19736 65788 0 1843501 1599406 97869 146226 0 107477 90132 6879 10466 162193 136019 10380 15794 0 0 0 0 16960 16960 0 249861 169717 66409 13735 0 50859 37813 12890 156 0 0 175605 151279 17028 7298 0 0 22301 21027 1026 248 0 0 130080 107966 7805 14309 11640 8988 2400 252 Food 45362 38701 2038 4623 Miscellaneous 36707 8045 13191 15471 Printing and postage 14633 4052 4236 6345 Staff development & training 2248 2199 49 0 3007954 2428347 261936 317671 28684 389081 146209 131613 862807 1671790 0 0 0 0 0 33902 39998 1041753 673002 486794 368751 0 0 0 0 27862 17987 1586258 2619220 110437 124464 33207 38040 143644 162504 X 660245 611917 782369 1844799 1442614 2456716 1586258 2619220 1014102 X false true X true false X 2674563 1791686 2292249 1583214 3996780 12338492 0 0 2674563 1791686 2292249 1583214 3996780 12338492 1501832 10836660 1705 5085 2593 132 9515 0 19275 28050 20240 13370 25276 106211 12454218 0.87010 0.93910 X RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED 993841 635436 358405 34837 25424 9413 13075 12142 933 368751 X 4172056 150000 150000 4022056 4022056 3157954 150000 150000 3007954 3007954 Part X : FIN48 Footnote RHI does not believe its financial statements include any uncertain tax positions.

These grants include computers for College Scholars going off to school for the first time. Other grants tend to be to address a crisis, which is evaluated by an RHI Case Manager or Social Worker, who then maintains a relationship with the recipient to make sure the grants are being maximized. Typical requests are for transportation (to school or work), text books or food. Those in need are required to complete an application, with support from an RHI Case Manager or Social Worker who is helping to identify and name the need; determine what amount of support is appropriate; and incorporate the grant into a bigger picture action plan to handle the emergency situation. The application includes questions about what other forms of funding have been investigated. The applicant/recipient signs off on receipt of the grant and the Social Worker or Case Manager follows up on its use/application. These are awarded on a case by case basis.
