Youth are encouraged to express themselves through writing and other pro-social activities rather than through violence. The Writing Program offers: Weekly and bi-weekly creative writing classes led by volunteer teachers; Annual Writers' Retreats for all IOW students at each facility to come together as writers to celebrate their accomplishments; Quarterly anthology, which is a compilation of writings from both Writing and Alumni program participants. 293020 ALUMNI PROGRAMRecognizing the critical need for comprehensive reentry programs, IOW launched the Alumni Program in 2010, to provide a continuum of care for Writing Program students to support their transition back into our communities. The goal of the Alumni Program is to reduce participants likelihood of reoffending and to increase their skills and capacity to become self-sustaining, productive members of our communities. Once released, these young people are deemed to have graduated from the Writing Program and are called alumni moving forward. The Alumni Program is comprised of six interconnected components: 1) transitional case management; 2) life skills workshops; 3) mentoring; 4) writing classes; 5) community engagement activities; and 6) cultural events and field trips. In the last fiscal year, 85 alumni, between the ages of 16 and 26, were actively involved in programming, with 53 receiving intensive case management support. 599256 true true false false false false false false false false true false false false true false 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 true 14 0 false 11 true false false false false false false false false 0 false false false false false false false false false false X 21 21 false false false false false false false true true false false true true true false false true true false false X X Wendelyn Killian 3236601866 1212 N Vermont Ave - 2nd Floor Los Angeles CA 90029 Aaron Bergman Director 2.00 0.00 0 0 0 Scott Budnick Director 2.00 0.00 0 0 0 Brenda J Casanave Director 2.00 0.00 0 0 0 Samantha Cleland Director 2.00 0.00 0 0 0 Gabriel Cowan Director 2.00 0.00 0 0 0 Marta Cunningham Director 2.00 0.00 0 0 0 Dede Gardner Director 2.00 0.00 0 0 0 Sydney Holland Director 2.00 0.00 0 0 0 Sarah Moritz Director 2.00 0.00 0 0 0 Josh Schechter Director 2.00 0.00 0 0 0 Wendelyn Killian Executive Dir. 50.00 0.00 X 93375 0 0 Bernard R Cahill II Director 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Dellene Arthur Treasurer 2.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 Todd Rubenstein Chairman 2.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 Brian Leuchtenburg Director 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Joseph Brandolino Secretary 2.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 Lucy Firestone Director 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Zev Borow Director 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Carol Chodroff Director 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Tim Daly Director 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Barry Nugent Director 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Prophet Walker Director 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 93375 0 false false false 0 210057 270850 480907 0 1820 1820 0 0 0 580 580 580 580 97018 6920 90098 0 0 0 573405 2400 X 0 9000 9000 0 0 93375 72786 9627 10962 0 253586 245292 3882 4412 0 30148 27638 1174 1336 46941 43033 1828 2080 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1759 1759 26048 23880 1014 1154 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 6972 6585 181 206 12604 11905 327 372 Occupancy - Rent/Maint 57308 54128 1487 1693 Professional Services 29326 4095 18890 6341 Teacher Stipends 28865 28865 Program Expense 16810 16810 69147 55239 5132 8776 681889 599256 45301 37332 15178 101368 0 136000 0 0 0 0 31138 33867 0 13943 44205 39715 1811 4490 95459 16683 0 0 19149 16597 4599 4599 303334 191547 4913 3232 9677 8055 14590 11287 X 137744 143510 151000 36750 288744 180260 303334 191547 -108484 X false true X true false X 760445 325726 558118 643906 569827 2858022 0 0 760445 325726 558118 643906 569827 2858022 0 2858022 2931 11490 8799 5506 1820 30546 0 0 2888568 0.98940 0.98620 X RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED 44205 39715 4490 4490 Employee Benefits Payable 8055 8055 X X X X X X false Fundraisint Event 4/7/14 46646 46646 6920 Beach Party 24037 24037 2 26335 26335 97018 97018 6920 6920 90098 false 0 0 Form 990, Part VI, Line 11b: Form 990 Review Process Form 990 is reviewed by the Finance Committee and presented to the entire Board of Directors for review and approval prior to being signed by the Treasurer and filed with the IRS.
