The program provides young people aged 14-19 with an exciting, powerful and life-changing summer of community building, political education and leadership development. Young people come to SLP concerned about injustice and ready to learn more, and emerge from SLP ready to be part of a broader movement for social change.High-school-age students from Boston's diverse neighborhoods, surrounding communities, and outlying suburbs participate in the Summer Leadership Program. Youth who have participated have come from high schools including City on a Hill, Winchester High, Boston Latin Academy, Beaver Country Day, Madison Park, Boston Arts Academy, Milton Academy, Cambridge Rindge and Latin, Brookline High, Boston Latin School and and many others.Once accepted into the Summer Leadership Program, students participate in a three-day, two-night retreat in order to explore identity, power and privilege build a sense of community. Then they launch into six and a half weeks of intensive seminar learning, and concrete community action projects, all tackling critical issues of social justice.An Average SLP Day: SLP Youth begin Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays in a large Assembly created by the Youth Staff team, which brings the whole community together for fun events like Twin Day and Spirit Day. Afterwards, participants head to their issue-based Seminars. Seminar classes go deep into topics such as education, immigration, community organizing, housing, food justice, environmental justice, and more. Seminar Teachers are experienced youth workers, and often graduates of our program; they weave together actitivies, media, and more to give a rich view of the information being covered. With their Community Action Projects, students are working for social justice in Greater Boston. Previous Community Action Projects have included creating a conference for Boston Public School teachers to learn about restorative justice and liberatory education; protesting the American Correctional Association's conference in Boston; and engaging community members through street outreach on issues like cultural appropriation and body positivity.On Tuesdays and Thursdays students spend their time in meaningful internships at community-based partner organizations. Our internship sites over the past few years have included: Boston Mobilization / SubUrban Justice, Beantown Society, Roxbury Environmental Empowerment Project, Youth Justice and Power Union, Center to Support Immigrant Organizing, and many more!After six and a half weeks of powerful programming, the Summer Leadership Program concludes with three events: the interactive Youth-Led Workshops on issues covered in Community Action Projects; We Rise Up, our closing retreat and celebration, and the Graduation commencement acknowleging all of the student achievement and growth throughout the course of the program. 49011 TCS provided fiscal sponsorship to El Movimiento, Youth Justice and Power Union, The Unnamed Coalition, Young Abolitionists and Chica Project throughout FY 2016 related to their mission to develop youth leadership. 360778 true true false false false false false false false false true false false true true true true false false false false false false false true 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 true 12 0 true 0 false false false false false false false false false 0 false false false false false false false false false false X 17 17 false false false false false false false false false false false true true true true true true true true false MA X X X MYRIAM ORTIZ 6178223075 614 COLUMBIA ROAD DORCHESTER MA 02125 X Priyanka Sharma Co-Chair 0.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 Laura Diamond Youth Co-Chair 1.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 Yamila Hussein Clerk 1.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 Bhavin Patel Treasurer 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Susan Eckstein Board Member 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Lyn Freunlich Board Member 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Irvienne Goldson Board Member 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Cynthia Peters Board Member 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Chloe Frankel Board Member 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Marcos Beleche Board Member 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Eptisam Kassim Board Member 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Samantha Casseus Board Member 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Jia Rong Li Board Member 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Kelsey Galeano Board Member 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Alexander Xu Board Member 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Avi Nguyen Vice President 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Myriam Ortiz Executive Director 32.00 0.00 X 35938 0 12302 35938 12302 0 false false false 0 295859 295859 Other Service Revenue 79538 79538 Summer leadership program 137330 137330 216868 0 0 0 0 0 22058 22058 0 0 Other Income 12327 12327 12327 547112 229195 49011 49011 0 0 0 35938 35938 0 191037 131138 34818 25081 0 20930 15407 3210 2313 22236 16368 3411 2457 0 0 0 0 0 0 30461 12051 18410 0 0 0 0 0 10319 10202 117 0 0 3558 2590 771 197 0 20241 14737 4385 1119 3516 2560 762 194 Program expenses 57073 46028 10794 251 Utilities 6772 4930 1468 374 Telephone and internet 5123 3730 1110 283 Events expenses 4855 4855 22721 16088 5418 1215 483791 360778 84674 38339 184587 252928 0 0 41433 2000 0 0 0 0 1027 1235 743451 196434 563593 547017 0 0 0 1664 998 34644 45167 826948 849345 22974 7245 30700 30150 69536 44891 123210 82286 X 572811 662517 130927 104542 703738 767059 826948 849345 63321 X false false false X 374771 440714 448618 257708 305677 1827488 0 0 374771 440714 448618 257708 305677 1827488 0 1827488 0 0 0 1827488 1.00000 X RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED 631360 147317 484043 105721 45147 60574 6370 3970 2400 547017 Cash held for others 45167 45167 Mortgages payable 44891 44891 X 630652 83540 83540 547112 547112 567331 83540 83540 483791 483791 Part X : FIN48 Footnote The Organization has no uncertain tax positions that qualify for either recognition or disclosure in the financial statements, and no interest and penalties have been recorded in the accompanying financial statements related to uncertain tax positions.
