Through mentoring, we lay the groundwork for these often-forgotten youth to achieve positive outcomes and to empower them to avoid engaging in relationships and behaviors that would further harm them and result in a loss of dignity and additional feelings of decreased self-worth. We recruit, screen, train and supervise the mentors we pair with former foster youth and non-minor dependents. The focus of the mentors is to provide these young people the resources and guidance required to complete post-high school/college coursework and to develop the skills needed to be successful in the working world and in their personal friendships and relationships. 63840 Workshops for Foster Youth attending Community Colleges: Through college-based workshops, presently at the community college level, Jeremiah's Promise seeks to improve the life skills, academic resilience, feelings of competency and empowerment of emancipated foster youth and youth who are non-minor dependents as a result of California's AB12 law which allows foster youth to remain in the system until 21 years of age. In addition, these workshops aid in the development of a stable network of support; personal, relational and social undergirding; as well as, development of leadership ability. Professional and leadership development are a part of their growth toward independence as are other crucial life skills workshops we offer that assist in guiding these young adults toward more emotional maturity and self reliance. In these hard economic times, we also support transitional housing programs in our area, as well as, the former foster youth who participate in our local community college workshops by meeting basic requirements such as supplying them with toiletries, clothing for work or school functions, school supplies, and other emergency needs that housing programs are unable to fully fund. Our aim is to support the multiple touch points that will allow these vulnerable youth to regain their sense of dignity and importance to the overall community as a means of breaking the cycle of abuse and neglect they were born into. 63840 Web-based Mentoring: This web-based series of courses and action items is aimed at empowering the disadvantaged men and women, ages 17 to 24, through support in changing destructive and self-sabotaging belief structures, attitudes and behaviors. Our purpose is to move them along toward competency in feelings of self worth; communication skills; dealing with past trauma; building a stable, reliable network of support; improving employability; establishing a vision for their lives; conflict management; social and relational skills; and support in dealing with addictive behaviors. Through this series of online course work, we aim to broaden their access to healthy relationships, educational and career opportunities; and improve their understanding and appreciation for cultural, racial, and ethnic diversity; as well as, instruction in professional conduct; conflict resolution; signals of abusive relationships and how to extricate themselves from these situations. 191520 true true false 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 false false false false false false false false false false false false false false true 1 0 false 1 true false false false false false false false false 0 false false false false false false false false false false X 6 5 true false false false false false false true true false false true true true true true false true true false CA X X Anne Gaudette 7705984632 3777 Fujiyama Way Redding CA 96001 Kim Golter CEO, Chair 40.00 0.00 X X 54793 0 0 Greg Bennett Treasurer 2.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 Brian Golter Director 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 John Mitchell Director 2.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 Carolyn Robinson Secretary 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Dave Robinson Director 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 54793 0 false false false 0 216869 216869 Fee for Service 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 216869 0 0 0 0 54793 43834 5480 5479 0 0 0 0 25696 12848 10344 2504 0 0 4168 4122 46 0 0 0 0 1611 25 1586 3210 2408 481 321 737 737 0 17374 13031 2606 1737 0 0 0 0 0 14221 10666 2133 1422 0 Program Activities 102858 102562 296 Volunteer Appreciation 5408 4056 811 541 Meals, Meetings & Trainings 4729 1619 1565 1545 Automobile Expenses 1073 496 577 0 235878 191520 29177 15181 36956 30368 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 94075 68791 37706 25284 0 0 0 0 0 74662 55652 0 0 X 74662 55652 74662 55652 74662 55652 X -19009 -1 X true X false false false X 111661 78543 81313 155425 216869 643811 0 0 0 0 111661 78543 81313 155425 216869 643811 0 0 643811 694 694 0 694 694 0 0 112355 78543 81313 155425 216869 644505 0.99890 0.99880 0.00110 0.00120 X RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED 71957 53507 18450 22118 15284 6834 25284 Form 990, Part VI, Line 2: Description of Business or Family Relationship of Officers, Directors, Et CEO & Executive Director, Kim Golter, and Director, Brian Golter, are married.
