College Steps offers its support program to students for whom navigating college is challenged by social, academic, or learning barriers. It provides services to both high school students interested in learning about college life prior to high school graduation as well as enrolled college students. Each student participating in College Steps receives an Individualized College Plan that helps to highlight their goals and areas of needed support within academic, social, independent living, and vocational categories. College Steps' college campus supports are managed by a full-time Program Coordinator on each campus who supports College Steps students in the following ways: (a) Works with students to devise and refine an Individualized College Plan (ICP) that outlines the students academic, vocational, social, and independent living goals and serves as a working road map for college success; (b) Meets with students daily to ensure academic goals are being met and support is being most efficiently provided; (c) Interfaces with family members to ensure frequent and detailed feedback on student performance is conveyed; (d) Interfaces with college faculty, administrators, staff and students to coordinate and support the individualized needs of each student; (e) Supervises College Steps network of on-campus Peer Mentors. College Steps also carefully selects, trains, and employs a team of undergraduate students at the partnering college. Peer mentors provide support with academics (e.g., supportive study time, organizational support, etc.) and vocational internships, as well as help link College Steps scholars to the social element of college life via introduction to new clubs or activities, social groups, and extracurricular events. 897782 true true false false false false false false false false true 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 false false false false false false false false false false true 2 0 false 137 true false false false false false false false false 0 false false false false false false false false false false X 5 3 false false false false false false false true false false false false true true true false false false true false X X Aaron Rakow 8028814795 934 Center Fayston Road Moretown VT 05660 Melinda Moulton Chair 1.50 0.00 X X 0 0 0 Patricia Prelock Secretary 1.50 0.00 X X 0 0 0 Paul Young Director 0.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Maurice Ouimet Director 0.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Ted Young Treasurer 1.50 0.00 X X 0 0 0 Aaron Rakow President 0.00 0.00 X X 45000 0 0 Lauren Merritt Executive Dir. 40.00 0.00 X X 60009 0 0 George Daly Vice Chairman 1.50 0.00 X 0 0 0 Patricia Shane Director 0.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 105009 0 false false false 0 37493 37493 Fees 951169 951169 951169 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 Tax refund 562 562 562 989224 951731 0 0 0 0 114106 33086 81020 0 578370 512010 66360 8511 6693 1818 23383 15639 7744 58173 49500 8673 0 48395 48395 0 0 0 0 4500 4500 2379 250 2129 6232 2024 4208 6179 1200 4979 0 0 9828 3364 6464 0 0 0 0 7663 3065 4598 8369 1640 6729 Tuition/meals/books 37049 37049 Meeting/Training 16783 2142 14641 Bank Charges 2995 2995 Postage and Shipping 217 134 83 481 229986 -229505 933613 897782 35831 0 146925 210561 0 12925 0 135419 254827 0 0 0 0 14882 6613 24285 12751 6417 11534 0 0 0 0 0 316568 483535 4764 1900 205559 315164 32132 36746 242455 353810 X 74113 129725 74113 129725 316568 483535 X 55611 1 X false false false X 21686 11667 62366 37993 133712 0 0 21686 11667 62366 37993 133712 0 133712 2 2 0 562 562 134276 2101254 X 0.00000 RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED 24285 12751 11534 11534 Accrued Wages 34791 FICA witholding -17 SIT withholding 1201 SUTA payable 771 36746 Form 990, Part VI, Line 11b: Form 990 Review Process The President reviews the return for filing.
